The LGBT student organization at UK Law maintains close ties with the LGBT members of the Lexington bar and Lexington professional community, and also attracts national speakers on LGBT issues to the College of Law. While no course in the curriculum is focused solely on LGBT issues, LGBT topics are discussed in other classes.
