Thursday, November 10; 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m 

The military’s policy of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” banning openly gay and lesbian people from serving in our country’s armed forces is coming to an end.  Join us as we discuss what this means to the LGBT communities around the globe and how it impacts Chicago, the US, and the world. Journalist Laura Washington moderates this discussion.  Panelists include Jim Darby, President of the Chicago chapter of American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER), former US Marine Marquell Smith, and Loyola University, Professor of Political Science, Susan Gluck Mezey.
