So excited to start the Tech-Telecom Institute hosted by leaders Praju Tuladhar and Julie Rooney As a data lawyer myself, I love that we’re talking about this because data privacy is so important for the LGBTQ+ community because sensitive information usually includes sexual-orientation and gender identity. So let’s talk about “The Intersection of Privacy and AI Regulatory Developments and their Impact on the LGBTQ+ Community” John (Heflin) Hopkins-Gillispie Vinny DiGilio Whitney Schneider-White Alan Moore #LavLaw #LavenderLaw __________________________________________ Hi!

I feel so incredibly privileged to be attending this renactment of several cases and stories highlighting AAPIs and the Fight for Marriage Equality. Thank you to the attorneys that put so much feeling and emphasis in this renactment. AAPIs have played such monumental roles in civil rights including marriage equality. For example, take Salvador Roldan a filipino man who fought against the anti-miscegenation laws that prevented him from marrying Marjorie Rogers, an aglo woman. Just hear a bit from Dennis M. Quinio who took on this role and shared with us such pure emotion. National LGBTQ+ Bar Association #LavLaw #LavenderLaw __________________________________________ Hi!

Where does a data privacy attorney go in the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association? A panel titled: who wields the data?: supporting and targeting lgbtq+ people through data collection We know data can help to pass laws and make sure underrepresented communities are counted. So there’s a push for governments to collect this data. But what the government does with the data is the question and oftentimes the government and other actors will weaponize this data. Looking forward to hearing from Kellan E. Baker Nathan Cisneros Maria Nava Luis Vasquez #LavLaw #LavenderLaw __________________________________________ Hi!

Thank you, David Ackert , Michelle Turner , Jacob Eidinger , Nathalie Rangel Iovino (she.they) , Craig McCullough , and all involved in the Legal Marketing Association #DEI #LGBTQ member resource group as well as all our resource groups. Such an important and beautiful offering. I can’t express my gratitude enough for the LGBTQ+ member resource group. It was my safe space last year as LMA International president. I felt like I had a place where I could speak openly and honestly to my unique experiences professionally and personally as a gay man. Being international prez was the honor of my life, but it was also one of the toughest things I’ve ever done. I grew so much from the experience, but it was essential for my well being and mental health to have a group of like-minded, like-experienced colleagues with whom to discuss the balancing act in my life and theirs. It’s important to note that a very large part of an organization’s commitment to DEI is to understand the seemingly invisible barriers those of us may face. Right or wrong, we (I) carry a feeling of “otherness” everywhere we go, and the pressure and critique we experience when taking on leadership roles can feel magnified. What may seem like an offhand, even well-intentioned comment from a peer can hit us like a ton of bricks based on prior experience. Comments about our attire/appearance, our choice of expression, our visibility, our decision-making processes, and so on. So, selfishly, the LGBTQ+ MRG helped provide me a trusted community to better navigate that – people who did the same work I do, lived a similar life to mine, and carried comparable burdens. It honestly was a beautifully liberating experience to attend the meetings and share our truths. #lma24 #lmamkt #professionalservices #authenticity #legal #legalmarketing #pride

Thrilled to be participating in the Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) tomorrow in Washington, D.C. 🌟 PLSC is the world's premier academic conference for privacy, law, and technology scholars, researchers, and practitioners. It's an honor to have the opportunity to engage with and contribute to scholarship at the cutting edge of the law and technology field. I'll be workshopping my upcoming article, "Data Power and Vulnerability: A Privacy Framework for LGBTQ+ Communities." 🏳️🌈 Prof. Luke Stark will moderate the session. In this paper, I explore the unique privacy challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in the digital age and propose a privacy-centered framework for better protecting vulnerable communities. Let me know if you'll be at #PLSC too - would love to connect! 🤝 #PLSC #PrivacyLaw #LegalTech #QueerPrivacy #ScholarlyDiscourse #LGBTQLaw #Data #Datapower #Privacy
