With the Supreme Court decision on June 26th same sex couples won the right to marry nationwide. Joining CAN WE TALK FOR REAL cohosts Terry Boi and Michelle on WEDNESDAY JULY 8 to discuss the decision, backlash and next steps for LGBTQ couples as well as the barriers/fights that lay ahead are James Bennett Midwest Regional Director at LAMBDA LEGAL and Sommer Foster Legislative Director at EQUALITY MICHIGAN.

Lambda Legal, founded in 1973, is the oldest and largest national organization whose mission is to achieve full recognition of the civil rights of LGBTQ people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work.

Equality Michigan is the statewide anti-violence and advocacy organization proudly serving Michigan’s LGBTQ and HIV affected communities for over 20 years.

Can you still be denied a marriage license and what should you do if you are? Is your Canadian marriage legal in all 50 states? Does your civil union/domestic partnership convert to marriages automatically? If you have domestic partnership benefits will you lose them if you choose NOT to marry? If we were legally married with children Massachusetts but live in Michigan do we have to do a second parent adoption? If you get married on Saturday can you be fired on Monday?

What are your questions? Join us on CAN WE TALK FOR REAL Blog Radio Wednesday July 8 at 8:30PM EST/7:30PM CST. Call (347)215-8985 and press “1” to join the conversation.
