"Same-Sex Marriage" has resurfaced as a media sensation, once again becoming one of the most volatile issues in the Presidential Campaign.  The Program for LGBT Health hosts this forum with Dr. Randall Sell leading a lively, interactive discussion on the impact of marriage laws on LGBT couples & implications for public health.

Prior to this event those who plan on attending are asked to review two brief articles recently published in the American Journal of Public Health examining these topics.  To RSVP & request copies of the articles, please contact Ted Faigle, Manager, Program for LGBT Health: tf96@drexel.edu or 215-762-1643.  Articles can also be downloaded from the Program for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health website.
