Diné Equality

Founded 2013, the Coalition for Diné Equality continues to work towards that vision of a more inclusive Navajo Nation. Working alongside partners like Equality New Mexico, the Human Rights Campain, Equality Utah, & the Trevor Project - the Coalition has expanded its effort to now include advocacy for our transgender community, brave spaces programs for schools, LGBTQ youth suicide prevention, & holding tribal leaders more accountable. Within the next year, key members of the Navajo Nation Council will be sponsoring legislation drafted by the Coalition that will revamp tribal law & ensure no one is discriminated against based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, & gender expression. The Coaltion is now working with other Navajo couples to challenge the Diné Marriage Act & plan to argue their case before the Navajo Nation Supreme Court.
