STCL Houston Assistant Professor Ryan H. Nelson was recently appointed to the Board of Directors for the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association. He is the only tenure-track law professor nationwide serving on this prestigious board.
“It’s a privilege to serve the LGBTQ+ community at this crucial time when we are fighting for our basic human dignity here in Texas and beyond,” Prof. Nelson said. “Pride began not as a celebration, but as a political and cultural uprising where queer people and their allies demanded equality. Pride Month is an annual reminder of that sustained call to action.” The National LGBTQ+ Bar is an association of lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals, law students, activists, and affiliated lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender legal organizations. It promotes justice in and through the legal profession for the LGBTQ+ community in all its diversity. Read more about Prof. Nelson’s leadership role here.
