PRIDE!

By Denise

Yesterday was June 1, the beginning of Pride month here in the U.S. and the day of Motor City Pride held each year in Ferndale (and sponsored by Triangle Foundation).

Rainbow Law Center had it's first booth at Motor City Pride this year.  We tried not to make it too elaborate.  Instead we wanted to offer real help to clients and potential clients.  Consequently, we did not offer give-aways and we did not attempt to collect names and contact information in order to build a mailing list.

What we did, instead, was offer free 15 minute legal consultations to whomever asked.  We helped out a half-dozen individuals or couples with real-life problems, free of charge.

In addition, we developed some marketing-oriented handouts which we hoped would also be educational and we handed out over 50 packets of information to people.  That seems like a small number when you think about 30,000 attendees, but it was very good from our perspective.  Copies of our handouts are here:

We will next be at Michigan Pride in Lansing on 6/28 and then OutFest in Ann Arbor on 9/13.

We wish all our LGBT family a happy Pride Month!
