Francisco Dueñas, Coordinator of Lambda Legal's Proyecto Igualdad, was profiled in a cover story about Latino LGBT community leaders.
"Proyecto Igualdad is an outreach program to
the Latino Community of Lambda," he tells Adelante magazine. "Lambda Legal is an
organization that provides legal defense to the gay
community. We handle cases in which LGBT persons
are discriminated. We are a national organization and
we look for cases to become involved with that can set
a precedence and have an impact on the whole community
as well as those that are involved."
