Urvashi Vaid presents at the 2014 Teachers College Annual Winter Roundtable at Columbia University.

The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement is at a remarkable crossroads. The goal of securing legal equality is within sight, yet significant gaps and challenges remain. This talk addresses both the advances and challenges facing the LGBT movement. What is the difference between advancing legal equality and winning lived equality? Is the work of the LGBT movement over when marriage equality and employment nondiscrimination are won? Veteran activist and attorney Urvashi Vaid argues that creative work for economic, gender, racial and environmental justice is the way forward for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.
