33. Lambda Independent Democrats of Brooklyn

The largest LGBTQ+ political club in New York City’s most populous borough is the Lambda Independent Democrats of Brooklyn, with over 4,000 members. Founded in 1978 by activists in Boerum Hill, LID backs LGBTQ+ candidates and allies for public office while battling against bigotry and advocating for people living with HIV and AIDS and on policy issues. The club has partnered with the New Kings Democrats and the Brooklyn Young Democrats in seeking reforms within the Brooklyn Democratic Party. It helped boost LGBTQ+ candidates including New York City Council Members Chi Ossé and Crystal Hudson and District Leader Jacqui Painter.
