337 Cartwright Center

Zach Wahls discusses growing up with his two mothers and sister in this compelling film about what really makes a family. After testifying in front of the Iowa House Judiciary Committee and speaking against a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in the state of Iowa, Wahls found himself in the national spotlight, which he has since thoroughly embraced and used to help shed light on this human rights issue. Feeling like an outsider and being afraid of being made fun or judged for his family, Wahls is able to reach out to others and share his story to help others in need. This film will supplement Zach Wahls lecture at UW-L on April 15, 2013.
