Bradley Whitford to interview Bishop Gene Robinson at Live Talks LA on Oct 5 – Straight Talk on Gay Marriage
We’re happy to share that Bradley Whitford will interview Bishop Gene Robinson at our Live Talks Los Angeles event on October 5th, at All Saints Church Pasadena. More info and tickets here.
Bishop Robinson is at the forefront of the gay rights movement. Join us for a frank discussion of the critical civil rights issue of our time.
In his new book, God Believes in Love: Straight Talk on Gay Marriage, Bishop Gene Robinson makes the case for same-sex marriage. For him, it’s a personal issue; after being married to a woman with whom he had two children, Bishop Robinson has been married to his long-term partner, a man, for the last four years. He is the first openly gay person to be elected bishop in the Episcopal church.
Bishop Robinson’s book is an exploration of faith and morality that will help readers to better understand why full marriage equality is vitally important — why it is a violation of civil rights to deny access to marriage because of sexual orientation.
