A Debate
SAME SEX MARRIAGE
Monday, 29 Mar 2004 at 8:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Camilla Taylor is a Staff Attorney in the Midwest Regional Office of Lambda Legal, the oldest and largest legal organization dedicated to advancing the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, the transgendered and people with HIV or AIDS. She is also the point person for Lambda Legal's Marriage Project. An opposing view will be provided by Mike Hartwig, executive director of Marriage Matters at the Iowa Family Policy Center, an organization working "to strengthen Iowa's families by presenting a traditional foundation of principles," and amend the Iowa Constitution and support federal efforts to define marriage as a union only between a man and a woman. Barbara Mack, Greenlee School of Journalism and Mass Communication, will moderate.
