[event] Lavender Graduation

Last year I had the privilege of attending Lavender graduation for the first time. This afternoon at 4, I not only get to attend, but I've been asked to present an award in recognition of the service of one of my friends. It is such an honor for me to pay tribute to his hard work, commitment and dedication to other people's needs. Last year there was not a single law school graduate in attendance, and I expect to see no difference this year. But, it is nevertheless very cool to see all the other young queer students graduating. I had the option of "graduating" with this class but chose not to as I won't be officially graduating until December and it felt a little like putting the cart before the horse. Of course, that means that I probably will never actually attend Lavender Graduation for my own graduation, but I can live with that. I'm just delighted that I get to participate in this one in a meaningful way. Go PJ!
