Description: In just this past year, there have been over 400 anti-LGBTQ+ bills proposed in state houses around the country. Many have no hope of passing, but some will end up creating new was to criminalize and ostracize already vulnerable members of the LGBTQ+ community. Joining Hunter today to talk about these laws and their impacts is Richard Saenz from Lambda Legal. Throughout this conversation, Richard and Hunter explore the many ways our legal system disregards the unique needs of LGBTQ+ folks being processed through it. Most importantly though, Richard lays out key ways that the legal community can help to stop the legal onslaught against the LGBTQ+ community.   Guests: Richard Saenz, Senior Attorney and Criminal Legal System Strategist, Lambda Legal   Resources: Lambda Legal https://lambdalegal.org/ Protected and Served https://www.protectedandserved.org/?_gl=1*70e392*_ga*OTE2Njg3ODAxLjE3MDk0MDYyNzY.*_ga_290ZG8GMP3*MTcwOTQwNjI3Ni4xLjEuMTcwOTQwNjQ2NS40NC4wLjA.
