98 - Using religion to justify discrimination against LGBTQ people - part 23 of an in-depth exploration - July 2022

Equality for everyone is a core American value, enshrined in the constitution. So is freedom of religion. What happens when they come into conflict with each other? This month, our guest, the eminent civil rights attorney Jennifer C. Pizer of Lambda Legal, continues her conversation with OutCaster Isha about religious liberty and how it can conflict with another constitutional guarantee, equality. In this episode: Is it "indoctrination" when schools teach kids about LGBTQ issues? How do we respond when parents and schools seek to censor what's discussed in schools in the name of "protecting" children? In this edition, we explore the myths pushed by right-wing politicians -- the people who are actually abusing children through their anti-LGBTQ policies. We also talk about what to do when the courts undermine equality and the separation of church and state.
