Fight for LGBT Civil Rights

Marriage Equality

We educate and rally the Jewish community to advance LGBT civil rights. Keshet was instrumental in mobilizing Jewish community support for equal marriage rights in Massachusetts and, as a founding member of the Interfaith Coalition for Transgender Equality, helped advance the Massachusetts Transgender Equal Rights Bill, finally signed into law in 2011. In Colorado, Keshet is partnering with LGBT and Jewish organizations to rally Jewish community support for civil unions.

GLBTI Statement from Nina Bassat AM

24 April 2013

“The mark of an enlightened society is the ability to allow all its members to live in a cultural climate free from any form of harassment or discrimination. The “No to Homophobia” campaign, by promoting an environment of respect and inclusiveness, seeks to ensure that the GLBTI members of our community can do so.”
