From Classroom to Courtroom, Gay Advocate’s 25-year Winning Streak

From “The Tyee,”  January 21, 2016

Trailblazer Murray Corren recounts battles for adoptive, marriage and education rights.

When I knocked on the floor-to-ceiling door of Murray Corren’s Fairview condo, “The Dames” were first to greet me.

Two small white terriers, Maggie and Judi — after British dames and actresses Maggie Smith and Judi Dench — are Corren’s sole companions at home.
