For Councilman Taylor Galaska, who is himself a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Pauly Likens’ murder was deeply troubling – not just because it occurred in their own backyard but also because it serves as a stark reminder that there is still much work to be done in terms of creating a safe and welcoming environment for all individuals.
