New Institute Responds to Right-Wing Anti-Gay Groups

“Antigay Groups and the Road to LGBT Equality” will be the topic of a presentation at the San Diego LGBT Community Center, 3909 Center Street in Hillcrest from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 29, 2007.

The presentation by Dr. Robert-Jay Green, executive director of the Rockway Institute, will describe the Institute's efforts to change public opinion and to conduct ground-breaking research that is directly relevant to key public policy objectives.  In addition, Green will highlight various ways that the attendees and LGBT citizens and their allies can engage in "everyday acts of advocacy."

Rockway Institute is a new national public policy think-tank. Affiliated with the California School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco, Rockway conveys accurate scientific and professional information about LGBT issues to the media, lawmakers and the courts. The Institute also conducts original research applicable to LGBT public policy in the areas of couple/family relations, mental health, education, social services, medical care and the workplace.

The event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available nearby For additional information on Rockway Institute and its programs, visit www.rockwayinstitute.org. For information on the San Diego event, contact Rick Moore at 415-314-8952 or rmoore.rockway@alliant.edu.
