The past decade has yielded incredible strides for LGTBQ+ rights in the US. However, the work is far from over: While LGBTQ+ equality is on the rise, the fight to affirm religious freedom has also intensified.
This has become problematic because the right to religious liberty often offers religious institutions the ability to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people with immunity.
This session will offer a brief legal and historical overview of how Religious liberty has interacted with LGBTQ+ rights in the US. Then, we will discuss some of the moral implications of this debate and brainstorm some potential paths forward for the LGBTQ+ community.
