Urvashi Vaid
The only information I knew about the presentation before going to it was the email that was sent out to us explainaing the oppurtunity we had to see the presenation. So I knew Urvashi Vaid was going to talk about LGBT, but I thought it was only going to be about same-sex marriage and the debate that is all around it. From the presenation I learned that on average homosexuals are lower in income then those who are heterosexual. I always made the assumption that those who were homosexual were smarter and were living in a comfortable lifestyle when it came to finances anyways. The information was presented very well and it was interesting so it was easy to stay engaged. Clearly Urvashi Vaid has the authority to present on this topic because she has been involved with the LGBT community for 30 years and is a well known laywer for the LGBT population.

Hi Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post on the Urvashi Vaid presentation. I am wondering if the presentation helped you at all with your Alternative Viewpoints paper?
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
Oh of course it helped! It was nice to be able to hear someone talk about the LGBT community instead of just reading about it, I felt like I was able to absorb more information this way than I do when I'm just reading it!
