LGBTQIA+ Leaders: Where Do We Go from Here? Post-Election Discussion

LGBTQIA+ Leaders: Where Do We Go from Here? A Post-Election Discussion

Thu, Nov 5 @ 12:00 pm PST

RSVP: https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2020-11-05/lgbtqi-leaders-where-do-we-go-here-post-election-discussion

Join us on Thursday at noon, two days after Election Day. Our expert panel will discuss the political situation facing LGBTQIA+ people after one of the most important elections of modern times.

What will the president do in the next 4 years? Will the more-conservative U.S. Supreme Court expand religious exemptions at the expense of LGBTQIA+ rights? How did LGBTQIA+ candidates — and LGBTQIA+-ally candidates — do in this election? What should priorities be in 2021 and beyond?
