About Philadelphia LGBTQ Bar Association

Since the 1980s, this organization has supported Philadelphia's LGBTQ+ legal community and paved the legal path for gay rights in Philadelphia and the United States.

The Philadelphia LGBTQ Bar Association (formerly GALLOP) is a non-profit professional association of LGBTQ attorneys, law students and legal professionals in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. GALLOP (Gay and Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia) was formed in 1986 as the Philadelphia Attorneys for Human Rights (PAHR), an organization of LGBT legal professionals serving the Philadelphia metropolitan area. By vote of membership in 2019, GALLOP changed its name to the Philadelphia LGBTQ Bar Association. Our purpose is to advocate for and promote the civil and human rights of the LGBTQ community; to improve access to LGBTQ attorneys; and to improve and enhance business opportunities, advancement and employment of our membership.

We are supported entirely by our members, donors, and other private contributors.
