TEDxTampaBay Nadine Smith Gay Marriage Rights Inequalities in America May 19, 2011

Favorite:

Nadine Smith has been executive director of Equality Florida since its
inception in 1997, and was executive director of its predecessor, the Human
Rights Task Force of Florida prior to that. She joined the organization in
1993 after serving as one of four national co-chairs on the 1993 March on
Washington and taking part in the historic, first-ever meeting between LGBT
leaders and a sitting U.S. president (Clinton) in the White House.

Nadine's talk highlighted legal inequalities concerning same sex couples in the U.S.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxTampaBay, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTampaBay event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
