Beyond Bostock: A Discussion on Health, Religion and LGBTQ Discrimination

Beyond Bostock: A Discussion on Health, Religion and LGBTQ Discrimination

This June, a landmark decision came down in the U.S. Supreme Court for LGBTQ rights. In Bostock v. Clayton County, Ga., the Court ruled that employers cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. But the following month, the Court also issued a decision in favor of religious objectors to anti-discrimination protections. Georgia State Law’s Center for Law, Health & Society hosted a virtual panel discussion to dive into these important cases.
