In light of Maine repealing same-sex marriage, the LGBTQ community has a lot of questions to deal with--what do we do now? How do we maintain momentum? What does this mean for the future?
On Thursday, 11/5 at 7:00pm, SED 130 Professor Volk from the School of Law will be discussing the LGBTQ civil rights movement since the anti-sodomy laws were struck down in Lawrence v. Texas (2003). He will focus on what happened in Maine, what is happening in DC, and what the future holds for equality across the country.
No RSVP or tickets required, just come--whether you are LGBTQ or straight, a BU student or not, an activist or otherwise. Becaus this is a matter of civil rights, this concerns all of us.
That's right, we are a movement of people united, and one bad day at teh ballot box isn't going to break us up or tear us down. It's a slow road to victory, but we've been marching it since Stonewall, and now we've marched right to Washington, DC. Prop 8, Question 1--these are only setbacks. Come show your support, and show that we stand together in this. remember how far we've come and learn what remains for us to do. It may not be soon, but we will come out on top.
