Are Hard Won LGBTQ Rights About to be Lost at the Supreme Court?

The court announced on April 22 it would take up a trio of cases that will test the scope of sex discrimination protections under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

A ruling by the justices could also have implications outside of the workplace. Title VII case law often is cited as precedent in other civil rights contexts. A bad ruling could damage years of LGBTQ gains, including marriage.

Our special guest, Chris Stoll explains it all to us.
