Supreme Court threat to LGBT rights -- Loss of a Houston icon Crystal Rae Lee Love
We speak with ACLU staff attorney Brian Klosterboer about the threat to LGBT rights coming the Supreme Court with the recent opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. The ACLU of Texas is dedicated to securing and defending constitutional and civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) Texans. LGBTQ Texans lack the most basic protections against discrimination under state law. Many LGBTQ Texans — including especially vulnerable groups like LGBTQ Texans of color, transgender Texans, and LGBTQ Texas youth — face workplace discrimination, housing discrimination, health care discrimination, bullying, and violence because of their identity. We are committed to securing protections for these vulnerable groups by fighting for LGBTQ equality in Texas schools, courts, city council chambers, and at the state legislature.

GUEST: Scott Fluhr-Kenyon and Michael Clayton
