Larson is recognized for his efforts for LGBT equality in the UN and at USAID. His work with the Federation of International Civil Servants' Associations and the UN Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Employees group since 2000 led to what are considered the first affirmative, internal policy initiatives in the UN in favor of LGBT rights, particularly a successful eight-year effort to convince the UN to give domestic partners of employees the same benefits granted to employees' spouses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carleton College: Carleton News: News: Todd Larson ’83 of World Intellectual Property Organization to give Carleton Convocation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Equality Forum - www.equalityforum.com )〕
