In this talk, Nadine Smith highlights legal inequalities concerning same sex couples in the U.S.

She has been executive director of Equality Florida since its inception in 1997, and was executive director of its predecessor, the Human Rights Task Force of Florida, prior to that. She joined the organization in 1993, after serving as one of four national cochairs on the 1993 March on Washington and taking part in the historic, first-ever meeting between LGBT leaders and a sitting U.S. President, Clinton, in the White House.
