The Future of LGBTQ Rights In a Changing Supreme Court

SEE EVENT DETAILS
The deciding vote for LGBTQ rights at the Supreme Court is gone. Justice Kennedy's retirement will likely result in a new, less-friendly majority.
What does this mean for rights like marriage that have already been won and the protections we're still fighting for when it comes to employment, housing and public accommodation?
Join Team Q of the United Democratic Club for an important panel discussion.
Elizabeth Gill, a Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Northern California Foundation and the ACLU's LGBT & HIV Project, will discuss recent Supreme Court cases and what's in store. She will be interviewed by San Francisco Examiner columnist Joel Engardio.
Yes, marriage was won nationwide in 2015. But since then, the Supreme Court has side-stepped or avoided ruling on central issues of LGBTQ rights in the cases of the baker who refused to make a custom wedding cake and transgender student Gavin Grimm who was denied access to the boys' bathroom in his high school.
The trend of using religious liberty as a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people will only grow at the state level until the Supreme Court addresses it once and for all. But with Justice Kennedy gone, will the court swing against LGBTQ people?
Gill and Engardio will discuss the certain battles ahead, what we must prepare for and the work that must be done to ensure LGBTQ liberty.
