Join Out Alumni in Chicago members for the upcoming installment of the Out at CHM series at the Chicago History Museum:

"LGBT History Goes to Court: From Anita Bryant to Prop 8"

George Chauncey, a Yale historian, explores why history matters to the courts. Using specific cases, he discusses the history of marriage, antigay discrimination, and antigay demonization. Chauncey speaks from experience: he testified as an expert witness at the Prop 8 trial in California last year and has participated in fifteen gay rights cases since 1993.
