Last week, the US Supreme Court published their decision on Creative 303 LLC v. Elenis. Referencing the First Amendment, they held that there is a constitutional right to discriminate against customers based on their sexuality. In Michigan, legislators signed LGBTQ+ civil rights protections into law last March in the expanded Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. So how does this new Supreme Court decision square with Michigan’s current anti-discrimination laws?

GUEST: 

Jay Kaplan, Nancy Katz & Margo Dichtelmiller LGBTQ+ rights project staff attorney
