2013上海骄傲节 讨论会（二）-
2001年，荷兰成为第一个认可同性婚姻有效性的国家；上个月，法国成为第14个认可同性婚姻的国家，一场同性婚礼引发全球关注；同样在5月，美国明尼苏达成为美国第12个州承认同性婚姻的州；在亚洲，尼泊尔、越南等国也正在推动同性婚姻法案。
在中国，社会学学者李银河数次向政协提交“允许同性婚姻”提案，引发社会关注。今年，来自LGBT社区的朋友们再次以各种方式争取同性婚姻权。同性婚姻议题为何在今年不断引发社会关注？它对于LGBT社区意味着什么？对社会公众产生了怎样的影响？争论背后存在着怎样的契机和挑战？上海骄傲节此次邀请到来自中美两国的嘉宾，包括在美国注册结婚的Eddy与Michael，美国律师，复旦大学社会学学者沈奕斐，以及同性恋亲友会的负责人阿强，他们将从自己的经历、观察和研究出发，与大家讨论同性婚姻这一话题。
