## After Marriage: The Future of LGBTQ Activism

#### *the 2014-15 Gender & Sexuality Symposium  
  
[More info and registration](/aftermarriage)* 

Since 1991 the LGBT movement has struggled to secure the right to legally marry for lesbians and gay men. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia now permit same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court has ruled it unconstitutional for the federal government to deny federal benefits of marriage to married same-sex couples. At least twenty other states are now facing legal challenges to their ban on same-sex marriage. The fight for marriage equality is, essentially, over.

 After two decades focusing on this fight what are the most important issues facing the LGBT movement now?

The year-long seminar series brought together four prominent lawyers and activists who will examine crucial issues facing the LGBT movement today: increased discrimination against and criminalization of people with HIV; how class and poverty effect the LGBT movement; the problems of relying on federal law to secure LGBT equality; and how religious exemptions and conscious clauses are undermining LGBT anti-discrimination law.

The series will culminate in a day long symposium with the seminar speakers discussing these issues with one another as well as a keynote by writer/activist Jewell Gomez.
