Attend the 2016 Michael R. Diehl Civil Rights Forum

By on June 29th, 2016

Although numerous LGBT rights organizations and advocates have declared ‘mission accomplished,’ Obergefell and marriage equality were not a panacea in the struggle for civil rights for LGBT people. The LGBT community must remain engaged and vigilant; the community still faces tremendous challenges in numerous areas of everyday life, not least including employment, family planning, transgender equality, religious exemptions to laws protecting LGBT people, and immigration to name just a few.

Please join us and take part in a lively discussion of where our community needs to turn to next. There is much we have yet to accomplish.
