Religious Liberty vs LGBTQ Equality - part 16
Civil rights lawyer Jennifer C. Pizer, and OutCaster Isha continue their
conversation about the Bill of Rights, the roles of the courts and the
legislative process, and the angry and perhaps even non judicial
vehemence of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito on how religious
liberty should override LGBTQ people's rights to equality. Did Roe v.
Wade decide the abortion issue too soon? What about marriage equality
-- should it have been secured through legislation instead of the
courts?
Jennifer C. Pizer is the Senior Counsel and Director of Law and Policy
for Lambda Legal, the country's oldest and largest legal organization
seeking full recognition of the civil rights of LGBT people and everyone
living with HIV.
Featured speakers/guests: Jennifer C. Pizer, Senior Counsel and Director of Law and Policy for Lambda Legal; OutCasters Isha and Chris
