Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders will host its 31st annual Summer Party on Saturday, July 27th from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm in Provincetown, MA. Edie Windsor, plaintiff in Windsor v. United States – the case that successfully brought down DOMA at the Supreme Court – will be GLAD’s special guest, along with award-winning political humorist Kate Clinton who will be returning as auctioneer extraordinaire.
The Summer Party is a time to mingle with other GLAD supporters, enjoy the view of the harbor, chat with GLAD attorneys,  and hear GLAD’s Executive Director Lee Swislow talk about the exciting work ahead to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, HIV status, and sexual orientation.
The live auction will feature tickets to a taping of The Daily Show, South African Safari, a Costa Rican vacation, a Virgin Islands trip, 10 Kimpton travel packages, plus restaurants, massages, and much more.
