The UT School of Law's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender student association, OUTLaw, will host a conference today on national, state and personal legal questions affecting this demographic and their families in Texas.

Panelists will discuss three areas of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender legal questions: legal and legislative strategy, transgender issues and immigration and asylum. The conference is an opportunity for students and practitioners to stay up-to-date on gay legal issues but also serves as an opportunity to network, said OUTLaw president and law student Matt McChesney.
