13 Times Law & Order: SVU Supported LGBTQ Rights

Law & Order: SVU often breaks new ground when it comes to issues related to sexual assault, but it hasn’t always written great stories for the LGBTQ community, especially in the early years.

More often than not, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender characters are murder victims rather than full-fledged characters. However, despite this lack of balance, SVU has also advocated on behalf of the LGBTQ community in some of its stories.

Here are 13 times SVU not only got it right, but supported positive change for LGBTQ Americans.
