A Cape Breton lawyer who has spent decades working to make life easier for members of the LGBTQ community is being honoured for activism. Last weekend, Tuma Young received a lifetime achievement award from the Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project. "It's just been a passion of mine," said the 55-year-old Mi'kmaw lawyer. Young's volunteer work throughout the years involved stints with the Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project and its predecessors. There have been many inroads made in the LGBTQ community since Young's childhood, the lawyer said.
