This conversation brings together experts in LGBTQ law, politics, health, and transgender rights to reflect on Bostock v. Clayton County, GA, the recent ruling from the Supreme Court affirming that Title VII employment discrimination law covers sexual orientation and gender identity under sex discrimination. That decision came down just three days after the Trump administration issued a final rule rescinding transgender inclusion in the non-discrimination protections of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act.

Experts will discuss what these cases and regulations mean for LGBT rights in this political moment. This event is designed to be conversational and informative and to fit within your lunch hour.
