As our community moves forward from last night’s election results, we wanted to share the thoughts of some of our members:
“Since 1992, when I opened my law practice, I have dedicated my efforts to the creation of LGBTQ legal rights and protection of LGBTQ families. Then, I was the only attorney in Douglas County, Kansas, openly working on those issues. Great advances have been made and others have joined the battle. But with the election of a firmly dedicated anti-LGBTQ rights president, I fear for the future. I pledge to continue to fight to protect LGBTQ persons and families in all ways. We cannot go back.”

“Since 2007, when I co-founded Bowen Lambda, the LGBT law student group at the Bowen School of Law in Little Rock, and subsequently opened my law practice in 2009, I have dedicated my efforts to supporting the LGBT community, advocating for LGBT legal rights and protection of LGBT families. Great advances have been made, others have joined the battle, and I have been privileged to make new friends whom I now call family . . . We cannot go back. We must go forward together!”
