BOSTON - They are the faces of your neighbors, co-workers, and members of the LGBTQ community making a difference here at home. 

"Portraits of Pride" is scheduled to unveil its latest selection of nominees on June 1st to commemorate the beginning of Pride Month. 

Jean Dolin is the curator of the exhibition and gave WBZ-TV an exclusive first look at the people selected as this year's nominees. 

"I feel excited and anxious at the same time," said Dolin. The 29-year-old said he had been working for months to create a list of people in the Greater Boston area who represented all parts of the LGBTQ community. "It's really about having conversations with people in the community, who do you know, who do you think, and after the list is done it feels right. It feels like it speaks to the broad community, it feels like it represents everyone, it represents every story." 

The portraits feature people working in education, politics, religion, business, and more. Their ages range from 20 to 80 years old. 

Reverend Brandon Thomas Crowley is the first openly gay preacher at the Myrtle Baptist Church in Newton. Crowley, is seen photographed with his husband in the church where he preaches. The photo showed the two at the organ with stained glass shining above them. 

Also featured in the exhibition, former Massachusetts Supreme Court Chief Judge Margaret Marshall who presided over the case that paved the way for the legalization of same sex marriage in the state.
