Obergefell was the U.S. Supreme Court case that established same-sex marriage nationwide in the United States. This case followed precedents previously set by several states in recognizing these rights. The commemoration of the Obergefell case will be discussed in the context of current legal issues affecting LGBTQ+ communities and broader issues regarding the rule of law and democratic ideals. Speakers will address topics involving New York State court decisions preceding Obergefell, LGBTQ+ law student experiences, the experiences of LGBTQ+ veterans, impact litigation on behalf of LGBTQ+ communities, intersectional issues within LGBTQ+ communities, comparative international legal experiences and human rights issues, and the meaning of the rule of law and democracy broadly and in relation to LGBTQ+ people’s rights.
