The Equality Forum’s National Politics Panel will explore issues of importance to the state and future of the LGBT movement, including enacting state and federal workplace protections, eliminating reparative therapy, thwarting bullying, advancing transgender equality, promoting elder quality of life and providing the LGBT community’s place at the table.
“The LGBT civil rights movement is at a pivotal moment having achieved marriage equality with the monumental Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges,” said Malcolm Lazin, Equality Forum’s Founder and Executive Director. “However, the LGBT community continues to face mounting challenges threatening to roll back advancements we’ve made in achieving equality. U.S. Representative Polis will join other top-minds, leading experts and elected officials to discuss what the road ahead will look like for LGBT equality in the shadows of perhaps the most consequential presidential election in a lifetime.”
