Put A Face On Marriage Equality

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,

Our
Mission
To
foster strength and vitality in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual
and Transgender (GLBT) Community by providing news,
information, presentations, health programs, events and
other services.
This strongly includes working for equal rights and justice
for GLBT people.

Pennsylvania
Diversity Network is a mission driven organization. As
such, PDN works to counteract disenfranchisement and
inequality faced by the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender community by offering specific opportunities to
the GLBT community in a variety of circumstances. Beyond
mission driven efforts, PDN does not discriminate with
regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry
or place of birth, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity
or expression, marital status, family status, age, handicap
or disability, use of a guide animal, height or weight.
