Friday, February 12 - Lambda Law Society Symposium: LGBTQ Poverty and Barriers to Access

The Second Annual Lambda Law Society Symposium:
LGBTQ Poverty and Barriers to Access

Presented by the Lambda Law Society, The Modern American, the Poverty Law Society, the Women and the Law Program, and the Women's Law Association.

February 12, 2010
1:30 pm –5:00 pm
American University Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Room 603, Washington, DC

This Freedom to Marry Day, we step back to examine widespread poverty among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. How do barriers to the basic needs of employment, health care, and housing affect LGBTQ survival? How do these access barriers create and exacerbate LGBTQ poverty? What roles do racism, ageism, homophobia, and disability phobia play? And where do we go from here?
