Oklahomans for Equality (OkEq) seeks equal rights for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals and families through advocacy, education, programs, alliances and the operation of the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center.
OkEq staff are working on putting together a Marriage Equality Week and we are extending an invitation to EBA Members to show off your business services during an OkEq Wedding Fair.
During the week of March 25th through March 30th, 2013, OkEq staff are setting up events in the evening to showcase Marriage Equality. Here is what we have on the calendar so far:
Monday, March 25th
TU Law School's SODA Group will present "Preview to the Supreme Court Hearings on Marriage Equality".
Local Faith Leaders from inclusive congregations who support Marriage Equality.
Tuesday, March 26th
OkEq Advocacy Chair, Mike Redman, will discuss the day's proceedings in the U.S. Supreme Court hearings about two cases - Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) & Prop 8.
Wednesday, March 27th
Panel discussion with local couples who have been legally married in other jurisdictions and plantiffs in the Oklahoma Marriage Equality Defense Lawsuit discussing why marriage matters.
Thursday, March 28th
EBA member led presentation "Home Buyers Education"
Attorney, Conor Cleary, will recap the discussions from the DOMA and Prop 8 hearings. He will also go more in depth on DOMA.
Friday, March 29th
Screening of Marriage Equality Documentary with Wedding Cake.
Saturday, March 30th
OkEq with Family and Children's Services will present Within Our Reach - a couples relationship enhancement workshop.
What does this mean for our EBA members? We would like to have information tables set up in the Sue Welch Great Hall with your business information. We imagine it as a Gay Wedding Fair to be available for the people joining us for the events. You don't have to man a table but we would like to provide information booths to showcase our EBA Businesses. Free of charge.
Sounds awesome right? We thought so too. So if you would like to participate in our Marriage Equality Week, please email our Program Coordinator, Mary Jones at mary.jones@okeq.org. Or just feel free to drop by the Center and speak with Mary or Lucas Green, our Office Manager.
We are really excited to bring this to our community and hope our EBA members will help us make this a fabulous week!
