Why Free Speech is the Only Safe Space for Minorities

January 25, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Antonin Scalia Law School

Join us on Tuesday, January 25 at noon, for a lecture by award-winning columnist Jonathan Rauch as he discusses “Why Free Speech is the Only Safe Space for Minorities.” A lifelong gay-rights advocate and author of the classic book Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought, Jonathan Rauch draws upon his own story and the life of legendary civil-rights leader Frank Kameny to explain why freedom of speech is minorities’ best friend, and why efforts to eliminate hate speech so often backfire. Along the way, he tells an unforgettable tale about the power of marginalized voices and LGBT Americans’ transformative struggle for equality. Chick-fil-A lunch will be provided for all in-person participants. For questions about the event, please email liberty@gmu.edu.
