American Atheists announced the first wave of speakers, including Jim Obergefell, for its 2019 National Convention in Cincinnati on April 18-21.
Jim Obergefell became an “accidental activist” by standing up for equality in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. Joining him are other atheist activists including Gayle Jordan (Recovering from Religion Foundation), who ran openly as an atheist for a Tennessee State Senate seat, Noelle George (Foundation Beyond Belief), Kevin Bolling (Secular Student Alliance), Candace Gorham (The Ebony Exodus Project), and many more.

Wish I could go. I was excited about Gayle Jordan's TN Senate run, and I'd be interested in hearing Obergefell speak.

NaNoCon is March 23. Gayle should be in Nashville for that.

I'm coming for the first time, just got my ticket and hotel reservations. I'm so excited! I would love to talk about what to expect at the event with some people that have been before.

I'm not that familiar with most of those names, But I'll look them up.
Even so, I really wish it was in my means to go to that convention.
I went to one a few years back here in Tampa, and had a wonderful time. I've never been in a crowd with so many uplifting positive people before. It was very memorable.
