For years, Manchester attorney Irene Olszewski was a prolific blogger, authoring Attorney O’s Midnight Musings, CT Law Blog and Connecticut Lesbian & Gay Blog. Her death in August left an online void, especially for members of the state’s LGBT legal community.

So Meghan Freed and Kristen Marcroft, partners in a Hartford law firm that handles LGBT immigration and other types of law, have stepped in to fill the gap with LGBT-related legal information. The Connecticut LGBT Law Project, launched Nov. 30, is spreading knowledge with a blog and a social media presence on Twitter and Facebook.
