Co-Chair for Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, April 2015

"We were proud to have Mark Yee as a co-chair for Lambda Legal's Bon Foster event. Lambda Legal is nationally recognized as a leader in the fight for equal and fair treatment of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV.

This was a watershed year as the case about gay marriage went before the Supreme Court. Thank you to the 650 supporters who turned out to the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago."
