Member spotlight! For Lexi Howard, Nat'l LGBTQ+ Bar Member and an attorney in the Legal Affairs Office of the California Secretary of State, the question isn’t about how the LGBTQ+ Bar benefits her, but how the benefits of the LGBTQ+ Bar can empower her to help others. “As queer attorneys, we share the understanding that it is not okay to be othered and that we are not going to be a part of othering people. The LGBTQ+ Bar helps us connect with one another in a way that is intentional and special. We have so much in common, and we also have so much to learn from each other.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/e845kJ-A

Happy #InternationalDragDay! Drag is a form of art and expression with roots dating back millennia. It is a source of joy and liberation for many LGBTQ+ people and is especially significant for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian queer and trans communities. Multiple states have tried to restrict or ban drag performances in the last two years, but their efforts have been resoundingly blocked by federal courts across the country. Join the workshop “Don’t Drag Us Down: The Fight Against Drag Bans Across the Country” at the Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair. This workshop explores the recent rise of drag bans; how these laws seek to undermine free expression and diminish the rights of transgender, non-binary, Two Spirit, and gender diverse people; and how drag artists, advocates, and litigators have successfully blocked these laws in Tennessee, Florida, Montana, Texas, and other states.
