To commemorate 20 years of partnership between Yale GALA: Yale's LGBT Alumni Association (GALA) and The Yale Club of New York City, we are pleased to host this special panel on same-sex marriage just a month before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in marriage equality cases from four states.
Join GALA and the YCNYC for a panel featuring two lawyers involved in the cases pending before the Court, an activist who has led marriage equality campaigns in Massachusetts, California, and nationwide, and an LGBT historian who has participated in several marriage cases:
James Esseks Yale MC ’87, Director of the ACLU’s LGBT & AIDS Rights Project;
Susan Sommer Yale BR ’83, Yale JD ’86, Director of Constitutional Litigation at Lambda Legal;
Marc Solomon Yale BK ’89, National Campaign Director for Freedom to Marry; and
George Chauncey Yale ’77, PhD ’89, Samuel Knight Professor of History at Yale
A short reception at 6:30 pm will be followed by the panel at 7:00 pm examining the cases before the court, how we got here, and the work remaining to be done.
As space is limited, reservations are required in advance by emailing events@yaleclubnyc.org.
The full bios of our three speakers and our moderator appear on the Yale GALA website: http://www.yalegala.org/article.html?aid=286
This is the first of a series of events to celebrate 20 years of the Yale Club of NYC and Yale GALA working together.
The first Yale GALA event at the Yale Club was in 1994: Yale and the Lesbian and Gay Rights Movement’, with Larry Kramer, William Rubinstein, Marty Duberman, Donna Minkowitz, Candida Scott Piel. and Donald Suggs (RIP Donald), and organized by Monty Freeman.
