UPDATE: The final LALL book discussion on Tuesday June 24, 2025 will now be both IN-PERSON and on Zoom! Katie will have the opportunity to say goodbye and thank you in-person as well as on Zoom! Same date, same time but you have the choice to come in person or join on Zoom.
In honor of Pride Month, please join the LALL book discussion group via Zoom on Tuesday June 24, 2025 at 6:30 pm when we discuss Love Wins: The Lovers and Lawyers Who Fought the Landmark Case for Marriage Equality, by Debbie Cenziper and Jim Obergefell.
Jim Obergefell and John Arthur were a loving, committed couple living together for more than 20 years in Cincinnati Ohio. When John was diagnosed with ALS in 2011, they flew to Maryland where they legally formalized their relationship in marriage. After John’s death in 2013, Jim learned from civil rights attorney Al Gerhardstein that Ohio would not reciprocally recognize the Maryland union and John would be classified as “single” on his death certificate. Gerhardstein and Jim then filed a lawsuit that led, after a long personal and legal journey, to Obergefell v Hodges, the landmark 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision that made same-sex marriage the law in all 50 states. Love Wins is an engrossing, deeply moving tale in which love and fairness are the predominant themes. Join us and share your thoughts!
