Summary: In partnership with Equality Forum, the National Constitution Center hosted two compelling, back-to-back conversations exploring the pressing legal and political issues at stake for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans in the 2012 election. In the first session, speakers addressed the politcal fate of Prop 8; the Defense of Marriage Act; the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA); and how the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” impacted the LGBT community. The conversation was moderated by Jennifer C. Pizer, Legal Director for the Williams Institute at UCLA’s School of Law, and features William Eskridge of Yale University, Katherine Franke of Columbia University, Hayley Gorenberg of Lambda Legal and Janson Wu of Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders.
