To Have and To Hold: How LGBTQ+ Families Shaped the Movement for Marriage Equality (Webinar)

This June marks the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court decision that granted marriage equality nationwide. How did LGBTQ+ families help shape this historical moment — and what can we learn from that victory to inform the work ahead?

Join Family Equality, Jim Obergefell, and a panel of policy experts and outspoken change-makers for a special virtual panel highlighting the impact of LGBTQ+ family voices in the movement for marriage equality. Together, we’ll discuss the state of marriage equality ten years later, the power of storytelling, and the role that everyday LGBTQ+ families played—and can continue to play—in making history.

Our panel includes:

Frankie Frankeny, Creator/Director of the JustMarried project
Emily Hecht-McGowan, Family Equality’s former Chief Policy Officer (2010 – 2017)
Jim Obergefell, Family Equality board member and lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges
Luce M. Remy, Family Equality’s Vice President of Public Policy
Kinsey Woodson, Outspoken change-maker and individual named in Family Equality’s Voices of Children amicus brief


All are invited to attend this free event, although registration is required.
