to announce this year's Goodwin lecture series, which is entitled: 30
Years After Anita Bryant's Crusade: The Continuing Role of Morality
in the Development of Legal Rights for Sexual Minorities. With the
controversies surrounding the mayor of Fort Lauderdale this past summer,
this lecture series is very relevant and timely. The lectures are open
to the public and take place at the law center on the Davie Campus.
We have a great group of speakers this year, including the first openly
gay Episcopalian Bishop, Gene Robinson. Our first speaker is Suzanne
Goldberg, who will discuss how the U.S. Supreme Court addresses and has
addressed sexual orientation issues. Her public presentation is on
Thursday October 11, 6-7 pm. Professor Goldberg spent nearly a decade as
a leading attorney on lesbian and gay rights issues with Lambda Legal
Defense. While at Lambda, she served as counsel in a wide range of
cases in employment, immigration, and family law, as well as two cases
that eventually became cornerstone gay rights victories before the US
Supreme Court, including Romer v. Evans and Lawrence v. Texas. She
currently is a law professor at Columbia Law School.
The remaining schedule includes:
Thursday October 25, 6-7: David Mixner, Author and Political Activist
who worked with Bill Clinton.
Tuesday November 6, 6-7: Matt Foreman, Executive Director of the
National Lesbian and Gay Task Force
Tuesday November 27, 6-7: Rev. Gene Robinson, the First Openly Gay
Episcopalian Bishop
We hope that you can make this very exciting lecture series. If you
