Henry Robin & Bob McGarity
Speaker Sponsors
Meet my friends Henry Robin and Bob McGarity, speaker sponsors of The Love Wins House Party! Henry and Bob have been together for 21 years and married 8 1/2 years ago when same sex marriage became legalized in New York. Henry was my first roommate in Chicago and when my friend of 36 years heard about The Love Wins House Party he asked “How can Bob and I help?” With friends like Henry and Bob, there is no doubt that love wins.
