Welcome to the California Legislative Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Caucus!
<p>The LGBT Caucus was originally formed in June 2002.  Its role is to present a forum for the California Legislature to discuss issues that affect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Californians and to further the goal of equality and justice for all Californians.  The LGBT Caucus’ formation made California the first state in the country to recognize an official caucus of openly-LGBT state legislators. 
</p><p>Through this web site you can learn more about the Caucus’ members, important legislation affecting LGBT Californians, news and upcoming events, and get more information on relevant issues by visiting the Resources page. We hope you find this web site useful and thank you for visiting the California Legislative LGBT Caucus!
