>From Stonewall to Prop 8: The Fight for LGBT Liberation:  Pacific NW

Speaking Tour with activist and author Sherry Wolf

Two speaking events on Wednesday, April 15th:

1) University of Washington, School of Social Work, Room B014, 3:00pm -
4:30pm

2) Seattle Central Community College, Room BE 1110, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the country on
November 15, 2008, in the largest national protests for lgbt rights in
decades. As millions around the country wait anxiously for the California
Supreme Court's ruling on Proposition 8 and Washington stands on the
verge of full domestic partnership legislation, what comes next in the
civil rights movement of this generation?

On the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, what is the state
of the LGBT rights movement? What is LGBT liberation in the era of Obama?
Where does homophobia come from and how can we end it once and for all?
How do we strengthen the movement by taking up the questions of racism,
sexism, immigrant rights, labor, war, and other issues? Join the
International Socialist Organization, Haymarket Books, and Sherry Wolf
for a lively discussion of the key questions of the political period.

Wolf is the author of the forthcoming Sexuality and Socialism: History,
Politics and Theory of Gay Liberation (Haymarket Books, 2009). Wolf is an
associate editor of the International Socialist Review and has written
for Alternet, Znet, Counterpunch, DissidentVoice, MRZine, New Politics,
Socialist Worker, and many other progressive publications and Web sites.
She is a popular public speaker on campuses nationwide and has appeared
on radio shows from Pacifica's Democracy Now! to NPR-affiliate KALW's
Your Call. Wolf is a long-time social justice activist and Jewish
Anti-Zionist since her student days in the anti-apartheid campus
divestment movement through to today's struggle for equal marriage
rights. She graduated from Northwestern University with honors in
Philosophy, yet adamantly agrees with Karl Marx: "The philosophers have
only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it."
