On Monday, October 19th, Outlaws and the Society for Law, Science and Technology are sponsoring a lunch on policing human rights violations on the internet featuring LLM student Sergio Suiama. Mr. Suiama prosecuted child pornography and racism on the internet in Brazil. LGBTQ youth are often the victims of bullying offline and and online; Mr. Suiama will discuss some the ways Brazil uses law to combat such bullying and some of the jurisdictional issues involved in combating bullying when websites are hosted internationally. The talk will be in JG 304 at 12:10 and lunch will be served.
Interschool Mixer
Yesterday, LGBTQ-Ally organizations from around the area converged on Therapy in Hell’s Kitchen for an interschool mixer. Thanks to everyone who came out for the event and to _.H. for dancing on stage (we have pictures). The area law schools get together about once a semester for a mixer. Next area event is the LeGal Conference in November at New York Law School. We hope to lots more students there!
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Tabling
Today, the military is on campus interviewing straight and closeted students for legal jobs. Say “no” to this immoral policy by stopping by the Outlaws-Solomon Amendment Amelioration Committee table! We have food, letters and posters outside the TV screens in the JG lobby. We also have a display on the 5th floor of Big Warren where the interviewing will actually be happening. Almost 200 Representatives have signed onto HR 1283, the bill to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. We thank those Members of Congress and urge the Senate to introduce a parallel bill. Discrimination in our military is immoral and inefficient. Integrity is one of the core values of the military, yet this policy is forcing thousands to live a lie. Millions are being wasted to train soldiers only to reject them after their orientation is revealed. We are in two wars and need the best people in the military we can get! Support a strong military and urge your Member of Congress to repeal this reprehensible policy!
National Coming Out Day Dinner
On Monday, October 12th, Outlaws held our annual National Coming Out Day Dinner. Over fifty students and faculty, LGBTQ and Ally, celebrated in Lenfest Cafe. Harvey Milk taught that one of the best ways to make connections and move towards equal rights was to come out. As we know, coming out is a process and must happen over and over again.
National Coming Out Day Dinner
We are please to announce that this year’s National Coming Out Day Dinner will be on Monday, October 12th from 6-9pm in Lenfest Cafe. Students, faculty, staff and alumni are encouraged to attend!
Third Annual Bar Crawl A Success
On Friday, October 2nd, Outlaws went on out third annual Bar Crawl through Hell’s Kitchen.
