Because of Sex! — March 2018

We call this installment: “Because of Sex.” That’s because we just received a huge win from the full 2nd Circuit in a major Title VII case where the court ruled that sexual orientation discrimination is a form of sex discrimination under existing federal law.

We will begin by chatting about this huge case that we have all been patiently been waiting for with Professor Art Leonard of New York Law School.
Then, we will speak with Art about a discriminatory B & B in HI and an antgay cakemaker from CA.
Lastly, we will chat about a really important NY parenting case with our legal director,
Brett Figlewski.
And of course, Art will be surprising us with his choice for our of note segment.
