Lesbians Who Tech & Airbnb Present: Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement + Conversations & Drinks in San Francisco
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Edie Windsor changed our lives by fighting for marriage equality and overturning DOMA in 2013.
As a global community of queer women and trans/nonbinary people in tech, Lesbians Who Tech and Allies has held Edie close to our hearts as a leader and a celebrated figure in our movement. She blessed us by attending many of our annual summits in person, and we honored her by creating the Lesbians Who Tech Edie Windsor Coding Scholarship for Queer Women. The scholarship fund honors her legacy as a pioneering programmer (she worked her way up to senior systems programmer, the highest technical ranking at the time). She was one of many women programmers at IBM, and she always made sure we knew that she was not the only woman programmer at IBM.
Edie: "Because of the historic Supreme Court ruling in my case, the federal government can no longer discriminate against the marriages of gay and lesbian Americans. Children born today will grow up in a world without DOMA. And those same children who happen to be gay will be free to love and get married -- as Thea and I did -- but with the same federal benefits, protections and dignity as everyone else."
Edie's recent passing is a huge loss to our community and family, and we want to honor her legacy and bring visibility to all she did to help make our lives better. Join us for a film screening of Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement followed by conversation and drinks.
