In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this CLE presentation traces the constitutional line from the nation's founding to today's LGBTQ equality cases, following the right to marry through Loving, Lawrence, Windsor, and Obergefell v. Hodges. Drawing on presenter Maureen Truax Holland's role on the Tennessee plaintiffs' team in Tanco v. Haslam (consolidated into Obergefell), it connects the founding promises to the present-day legal landscape. This 1-Click package features Tennessee’s first transgender elected official who will describe her journey in transition, legal challenges regarding employment, and path to becoming a Metro Nashville city council member. This session will also provide an overview and commentary of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Chiles v. Salazar, pertaining to a free speech challenge to Colorado’s attempt to prevent mental health professionals from engaging in conversion therapy on minors. Panelists will discuss practical ramifications of the Court’s decision, ethics and real-world implications of the ruling.
