Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom
Since 1980, Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom has been a pioneering community of LGBTQI legal professionals based in San Francisco, California, dedicated to creating a world where LGBTQI people live with dignity and equality under the law.

Today, BALIF's mission encompasses advocacy, justice, community empowerment, and professional development. The organization values LGBTQI justice, equality, community empowerment, development, diversity, and inclusion in everything it does.
