*** OPEN TO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN GLBT LIBERTY ***
GLBT, straight, Republican, Libertarian, Independence, Green, independent, and even open-minded DFL’ers!

Please join us for this special event featuring three guest speakers who will discuss recent legal and legislative actions in GLBT equality in Minnesota and around the country.

1) Dale Carpenter, the Earl R. Larson Professor of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Law at the University of Minnesota, will speak on the status and prospects of marriage equality throughout the country, and the possible repercussions of the California Prop 8 lawsuit. Dale is a frequent television, radio, and print commentator on constitutional law, the First Amendment, and sexual orientation and the law. Dale recently testified in Minnesota House and Senate committees and provided the conservative and Republican pro-equality argument: that establishing marriage equality is consistent with both constitutional and conservative principles.
