Equality Forum to honor Choi, Murphy

[The Philosopher]

from the Washington Blade

The Equality Forum, a national and international civil rights organization, holds its annual Global Equality Forum 2011, with both a national and international focus, in Philadelphia April 25-May 1.

It will be, says Equality Forum executive director Malcolm Lazin, “the pre-eminent national and international annual summit for our movement” that he calls “the epicenter of probably nation’s last major civil rights movement, for the LGBT community.”

This year the organization, headquartered in Philadelphia and begun with the first Equality Forum with a weekend event there in 1993, plans to focus attention on youth issues and internationally on Latin America, says Lazin, a former federal prosecutor and also former chair of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission as well as litigation partner in a Philadelphia law firm.

Events begin with a VIP kickoff reception at the Hotel Palomar on Monday evening and include a series of panels, performances and exhibits, including all week long the 12th annual Gay and Lesbian Art Exhibit at The University of the Arts.
