The Nature of Family and What It Means for the Millennial Generation

Monday, March 25

7:30pm - 9:00pm, Pruis Hall

PRESENTED BY:
Zach Wahls, LGBT Advocate and Author of My Two Moms

ABOUT THE SESSION:
When 19-year old engineering student Zach Wahls got up to testify before the Iowa House of Representatives in February 2011, he had no idea what was in store for him. He spoke briefly and directly about his family and why he believes same-sex marriage, legal in Iowa since 2009, should remain protected by his state’s constitution. Video footage of his testimony immediately found its way onto Facebook where it was posted and reposted on hundreds of pages. By the next day, without his knowledge, Zach’s words and image had been uploaded onto YouTube and he’d become a national topic—over 1.5 million viewers within ten days. Soon the polite and thoughtful sixth-generation Iowan was invited for appearances on MSNBC, CNN and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Zach most recently spoke at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
