CELEBRATE THE LGBTQ+ LAWYERS ASSOCIATION OF LA'S RETURN TO THE SCIENCE CENTER! The LGBTQ+ Lawyers Association of L.A.'s Annual Gala has historically been the largest event that the Association holds each year. The event honors individuals and organizations that have made contributions to education, human rights, and equality for the LGBTQ+ community. This year, we are delighted to be returning to the California Science Center for an in-person event. For more than ten years, the Association's Gala has been themed to spotlight important issues to the LGBTQ+ community, including marriage equality, military service, adoption, employment rights, and unity. This year's theme is "Ready to Launch," which signifies our role as an LGBTQ+ legal organization standing ready to address the challenges that will be facing both our LGBTQ+ community and our larger community in light of the Supreme Court's decision this year denying the fundamental right to an abortion. We recognize that the precedents guaranteeing bodily autonomy and privacy that keep government out of the doctor’s office when a person seeks contraceptive or reproductive services are inextricably linked to those precedents that overruled sodomy laws and made same-sex marriage a reality across the country. The rights of the LGBTQ+ community are inextricably intertwined with the rights of women and those of all people seeking reproductive care and family-planning services. Our Gala this year will not only celebrate how far we have come but also bring us together at a critical time as we prepare for the work ahead of us. We hope you will be able to join us! |
