Loeb & Loeb associate Michael Jones said he got his first taste of gay rights activism as an Emory undergraduate seeking equitable treatment in the early days of the fight against bias based on sexual orientation.
“I was gay and wanted to be treated fairly,” he said, explaining that he was part of a group of Emory students that successfully pressed the school to address anti-gay discrimination in its equal opportunity statement. “It took a fair amount of courage for folks to bring that up. This was way before anybody was talking about gay marriage.”
