Testimony: Take a Stand
From "Don't Ask. Don't Tell" to California's Prop 8 trial (Perry V. Schwarzenegger), historic trials on LGBT equality are happening across America right now and only a handful of people get to testify. If you could Take A Stand, what would you say? What would your Testimony be?
Testimony seeks to create a map of stories from LGBT Americans and allies across the country. In collaboration with partner organizations, and using the stories of the American public, Testimony seeks to show the shift in public acceptance of gays and lesbians as many of these equality cases make their way to the Supreme Court.
