Nessels early career focused on prosecuting childhood sexual abuse cases, and she went on to work with domestic violence victims as a partner at her private firm. She is best known in Michigan for being an early and ongoing champion of the LGBT rights, litigating multiple landmark civil rights cases and eventually winning a case that helped result in nationwide marriage equality becoming legal. In January, Nessel told Detroit Jewish News that Judaism propels much of her work. Ive seen a lot of parallels in terms of how Jews and LGBTQ people have been treated, she said. Its really incumbent upon us to help other minority groups who are being oppressed. Its a responsibility we have; we lose our right to righteous indignation if we dont help others. https://forward.com/schmooze/388734/i-wont-show-you-my-penis-jewish-candidates-campaign-ad-goes-viral/
