Three Conversations for GLBT equality

In two weeks, the California Supreme Court will hear a very important oral argument as LGBT legal organizations including Lambda Legal, NCLR and the ACLU fight in court to protect the California Constitution and the fundamental freedom to marry. While this courageous legal team represents our interests in court, we can all play a part in making the case for equality. We need to start talking.

We know that what changes hearts and minds and builds support for equality is having personal conversations that convey what it’s like to be LGBT, and why equality — particularly marriage equality — is so important.

Today Lambda Legal is asking you to tell three people about equality. It’s that simple. Whether you’re LGBT or straight, just start talking. Tell three people about what it means to be LGBT, or to care about someone who is. A group of LGBT organizations have come together to offer tips and information to help you start these conversations and a place to share your stories.
