We are thrilled to present our 

first annual Connecticut Voice Honors. 

The people in these pages represent outstanding commitment to the LGBTQ+ communities in the state, passionate activism, and lives dedicated to service. 

Whether in the arts, politics, of different ages and identities, these are the people who bring their authentic selves to the work they do and in turn inspire us—and serve as model for excellence in all they do. 

Our diverse, engaged, and productive LGBTQ+ communities make Connecticut a leading state in acceptance and inclusion, and each of these people embody those values, improving the quality of life for everyone they and their work touches. 

Congratulations to all, 

and our heartfelt thanks!
