Marriage & LGBTQ Legislative Update

We will have an expert panel to update our members on two topics: The marriage equality cases now pending before the Supreme Court and possible outcomes from their review of state marriage laws. Newly proposed legislation affecting LGBT people in California and elsewhere. Our confirmed panelists: - Geoff Kors, Government Policy Director, National Center for Lesbian Rights - Jenny Pizer, Law and Policy National Director, Lambda Legal - A representative from Equality California will also attend. This promises to be another informative session that you won't want to miss! Also, we will celebrate St. Patrick's Day with our usual Corned Beef sandwiches and Irish beer (wine and something non-alcoholic for the non-beer drinkers). A brief business meeting will follow the panel and will include a review and discussion of SB 128 - a "death with dignity" bill that would allow for more end-of-life options - and consideration of endorsement of Compassion & Choices California that is supporting the bill.
