LGN Pride 2026

LGN proudly celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and recognizes the many individuals whose leadership, advocacy, and contributions continue to strengthen our firm, our profession, and our communities.

Pride is both a celebration and a reminder that progress requires continued commitment. As conversations around LGBTQ+ rights continue across the country, we remain committed to the values of equality, inclusion, and justice for all.

This June, we encourage everyone to participate in and support LGBTQ+ community events wherever you are.

A team of LGN attorneys, government relations professionals, and close family members paddled a 24-foot canoe down the mighty Mississippi River this fall as part of Wilderness Inquiry’s annual Great River Race.

LGN attorneys Kate Baxter-Kauf and Derek Waller were pleased to attend the ACLU of Minnesota’s new fundraising event titled, “Evening of Dissent: Power (Back) to the People.” The evening highlighted ACLU-MN staff and special guests as they discussed the critical work the organization is doing to defend and uphold our rights against ongoing unconstitutional attacks.

This past year, LGN was honored to work with ACLU lawyers Alicia Granse and Catherine Ahlin-Halverson (pictured) on the St. Francis book ban case, which safeguarded students’ rights to diverse literature and reinforced the principle that book bans cannot be based on politics or viewpoint.
