Rudy Serra: A Pioneer in the Fight for LGBTQ+ Rights
In 2007, Governor Jennifer Granholm made history by appointing Rudy Serra to Michigan's 36th District Court, naming him the state's first openly gay judge.
Serra's career has been marked by a decades-long fight against what he calls systematic police targeting of LGBTQ+ individuals. Despite being 70, he continues to practice law and take on cases, sounding the alarm about police stings that violate the constitutional rights of gay men.
The work that consumed him in 1999 remains urgent in 2025, even as the tactics have evolved from public restrooms to dating apps like Grindr.
Serra's dedication to the cause is unwavering, and his work remains crucial in the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ rights.
