Supreme Court Plaintiff, Marriage Equality Activist Jim Obergefell to Speak at UC

On June 26, 2015, the landmark Supreme Court ruling on the

Obergefell v. Hodges

case impacted the entire nation. 

This prompted #LoveWins to begin trending, celebration within the LGBTQ communities across the nation, and visceral reactions from Americans. 

But this case has a personal tie to the city of Cincinnati, and what does the man who was actually involved in it have to say?

Jim Obergefell, the case’s plaintiff, is a Cincinnatian, and is coming to the university to speak about the journey that took him from a federal courtroom in Cincinnati all the way to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. 

Obergefell’s panel will take place at 12:15 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 24, in UC’s College of Law. 

This event was made possible by the American Constitution Society at the University of Cincinnati College of Law and Out and Allies.

This event takes place on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 12:15-1:15 p.m. in Room 114 of UC’s College of Law. Admission will be on a first come, first served basis. Free snacks will be available.
