Episode 81: Pitting the First Amendment Against LGBTQ+ Rights

<p>The Supreme Court recently heard oral argument in <em>303 Creative LLC v. Elenis,</em> a case billed as the sequel to the 2018 case <em>Masterpiece Cakeshop</em>. Both cases involve businesses wanting to discriminate against LGBTQ+ couples in defiance of Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination law. On this episode, Christopher Wright Durocher speaks with Professor Kent Greenfield about the oral argument in <em>303 Creative</em> and the nefarious effort to use the First Amendment to justify discrimination.</p> <p><strong>Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today:</strong> <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ACSLaw.org</a></p> <p><strong>Today's</strong> <strong>Host:</strong> Christopher Wright Durocher, <a href= "https://www.acslaw.org/person/christopher-wright-durocher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vice President of Policy and Program</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Kent Greenfield, <a href= "https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/law/academics-faculty/faculty-directory/kent-greenfield.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor and Dean's Distinguished Scholar at Boston College Law School</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2022/21-476" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court oral argument in 303 Creative LLC v.
