The Pennsylvania Diversity Network
Photo Project -- 400 Same-Sex Couples:
Facing Inequality
Will be exhibited in its entirety
at the
Hicks Art Center Gallery
on the Newtown Campus of
Bucks County Community College
275 Swamp Road, Newtown, PA



Pictures of Local Same-sex Couples
Put A Face On Marriage Equality Discrimination

August 25 until November 6, 2010
Reception: Wednesday, September 29
Artist’s gallery talk at 6 p.m.
Facing Inequality, was begun in 2006 on National Freedom to Marry Day (February 12) by PDN Executive Director Liz Bradbury. Bradbury began taking pictures of local committed same-sex couples in response to federal and state political efforts to constitutionally ban legal recognition of same-sex relationships. The photo project serves to not only remind the public that same-sex couples in PA cannot marry, cannot get any rights through civil union, have no legal recognition and are legally seen by the government as strangers, but also to put a local face on this discrimination.

Gallery hours (through September 20): Monday – Friday -- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
(gallery closed Labor Day weekend)

Gallery hours (after September 20):
Monday and Friday -- 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
9 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to Noon
Gallery closed on College holidays.

Location:
Hicks Art Center Gallery on the Newtown Campus of Bucks County Community College
275 Swamp Road, Newtown, PA (215) 504-8531
