**There is no cost to attend this event. Register so we may prepare your name tag.** Please join Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders to celebrate one year of marriage equality in Rhode Island and to learn about the vital work that GLAD continues to do on behalf of the LGBTQ community.
Hear from Deputy Director and Senior Staff Attorney Janson Wu about the state of marriage across the country. Since marriage equality became a reality a year ago, state after state have followed in Rhode Island’s footsteps.
The struggle for equal justice continues in Rhode Island and New England. Join us to hear about GLAD’s groundbreaking work, particularly with regard to religiously-based discrimination, transgender rights, youth and elder protections, and equal employment benefits for married couples. GLAD’s goal is to ensure that Rhode Island embraces every member of our community, so that equal justice is not just a concept in the law, but a lived reality for all.
So come raise a glass to all we’ve accomplished and to all that’s left to be done!
