2020 brought us more than a pandemic. During this unprecedented time, the rights of the LGBTQIA community continue to claim the spotlight. Even as the Supreme Court ruled to protect gay, lesbian, and transgender employees from discrimination based on sex, across the US more than 100 bills at the state level have been introduced to curb the rights of transgender people. Join our panel of LGBTQIA members of the Hopkins community as they engage in a conversation centered around their experiences this year.
Following this livestream, we invite participants to join our panelists in small group conversations via Zoom during which we will explore these 2 questions:
1) What has made the movement for marriage equality so successful so quickly?
2) What are the most important and immediate challenges facing the LGBTQ+ community?
Come prepared to listen, engage, reflect, and share experiences.
