Rural California firm celebrates pride

California Rural Legal Assistance Inc. hosted its 1st Annual CRLA Pride Celebration event on June 21 at The Abbey in West Hollywood. In 2007, CRLA made the LGBT Program part of its core programs.

"Although our state is working towards creating equality for LGBT people, there are still many inequalities in the lived experiences of LGBT rural people," Torres said. -Connie Lopez
