American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia Legal Director Sean J. Young was honored in Philadelphia Thursday by the LGBT Bar Association.

Each year, the Washington, D.C.-based LGBT Bar “recognizes LGBTQ+ legal professionals under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their field and have demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBTQ+ equality.” The honors came at the 2019 Lavender Law Conference and Career Fair, with approximately 1,700 attendees from around the country, according to the organization.
