SUMMARY:Speaker Series: The Struggle for Gay and Lesbian Adoption Rights
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with Lynn Grotsky and Lisa Brodoff on LGBTQ+ parenting rights\, legal advocacy\, and the fight for equality in Washington State \n\n\n\n\nIn 1986\, Lisa and her partner Lynn welcomed a child through donor insemination at a time when legal protections for same sex families were uncertain. As the non biological mother\, Lynn was not automatically recognized as a legal parent under Washington law. \nJoin Lynn Grotsky and Lisa Brodoff as they share the story of the two year legal battle that helped secure parenting rights for same sex couples across Washington State. From the courtroom to Washington D.C.\, their experiences reveal the challenges\, victories\, and ongoing work behind the fight for LGBTQ+ equality. \nThrough personal stories and decades of advocacy\, this conversation explores family\, civil rights\, legal change\, and the lasting impact of grassroots activism in the LGBTQ+ community. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.
