Gig Harbor Large Meeting Room

In 1986, Lisa and her partner Lynn had a baby using donor insemination. But equal rights for Lynn, as the non-biological mother, to legally parent their child was not guaranteed.

Hear the story directly from them of how, after a two-year court battle, they secured these parenting rights for themselves and for all other same-sex couples in Washington. Discover their journey from changing the law in Washington State to Washington D.C., and how they’ve continued the fight for equal rights for LGBTQ+ people to the present day.

Join us and learn about the histories, contributions, and lived experiences of those around us as we uplift community voices and explore stories that act as mirrors of our own lives and windows into experiences different from our own.
