Description
NYU Pride Month presents Beyond Marriage
For decades the discourse of family values has been used to shame women on welfare, people of color, and queers. Join Pride Month for a workshop on how we can unite to reject rather than reinforce this hateful discourse.
- How do "family values" policies coerce conformity while cutting government funding for programs such as childcare, healthcare, and reproductive services?
- How does same-sex marriage reflect a narrow model of gay citizenship based on consumption, private domesticity, and homonormativity?
-How can we gain legal recognition of a wider range of relationships, households, and families?
-How can we separate benefits from martial status to provide access to vital government support programs for all people?
Featuring:
Joseph DeFilippis, Executive Director, Queers for Economic Justice
Terry Boggis, Director of Center Kids, LGBT Community Center
Moderated by Sadat Iqbal
