This is an excellent opportunity to hear GLAD Civil Rights Project Director Mary L. Bonauto speak about our work in a post-DOMA era. Never has our country’s respect for the LGBT community been greater, but we cannot simply declare victory. GLAD is challenging our country to tackle the critical areas where injustice persists for the LGBT and HIV-positive communities.
Our goal is to ensure that America embraces every member of our community so that "equal justice under law" is not just a phrase...
