But it is also a time to highlight the work that still needs to be done to promote inclusion of all the members of the [LGBTQ+] community."--Giuliana Martinez In honor of Pride Month, I wanted to focus this article on how we can be a better ally to the LGBTQ+ legal community. Many thanks to Giuliana & Nishá N. Dotson, Esq. for sharing their perspectives on this important work.
