SUMMARY:Webinar: Bostock and The First Amendment: The Rights of LGBTQ+ Employees in the Religious Workplace
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton County determined that discrimination against gay and transgender employees is discrimination on the basis of sex—leaving open the question whether\, and how\, this issue might be addressed in a case involving religious employers. In this session\, two civil-rights attorneys—both counsel for the plaintiff in Doe v. Catholic Relief Services\, a recent case in the District of Maryland—and counsel from Americans United for Separation of Church and State will provide an overview of the federal law protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ employees\, the defenses being raised by religious employers and the progress they are making in the courts\, and insight into the way some state courts are addressing these same issues. \nPresented by the Federal Bar Association’s LGBTQ+ Law Section and Civil Rights Law Section.   \n\nAbout the Presenters\n\nLauren DiMartino\, Associate\, Brown\, Goldstein & Levy LLP\nLauren A.
