SUMMARY:CANCELLED - The Conflict Between LGBT Equality and Religious LIberty
DESCRIPTION:<p>This talk has been cancelled due to weather-related travel delays. </p><p><!--break--></p><h2>After Marriage: The Future of LGBTQ Activism</h2><h4><em>the 2014-15 Gender &amp; Sexuality Seminar Series</em></h4><p>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.</p><p> After two decades focusing on this fight what are the most important issues facing the LGBT movement now?</p><p>This seminar series will bring 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.</p><p>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. </p>
