Looking for ways to keep the conversation going about LGBTQ+ issues with your ERG, community group, or PFLAG chapter? Welcome to Something to Talk About, a monthly series designed by PFLAG National’s Straight for Equality program to create conversation about LGBTQ+ issues. Each month we’ll offer an article on LGBTQ+ topics and suggest a few questions you can use to lead a discussion.
Have feedback about how your conversation went? Let us know by e-mailing [email protected].
The LGBTQ Civil Rights Fight is Far From Over
Source: Vox
Author: Katelyn Burns
Questions for Discussion:
- Did you come across the Atlantic article, The Struggle for Gay Rights Is Over written by James Kirchick that the author mentions? Do you agree with the premise that LGBTQ+ folks need to “admit that they’ve won?” Why or why not?
- Do you think that most people are aware that so many LGBTQ+ protections have been rolled back in recent years or that police harassment of trans women of color is so pervasive?
- Do you believe that Obergefell – which legalized same sex marriage in all 50 states – is settled law? If the Supreme Court overturned that ruling, what do you think would happen in your state?
