Historic Supreme Court confirmation comes at a time when some in the GOP are trying to reverse LGBTQ rights
CNNWashington CNN — A version of this story appeared in CNN’s Race Deconstructed newsletter. “The question is going to be a constitutional one: whether Colorado’s anti-discrimination law violates the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause,” Tobia told CNN. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, approved what LGBTQ rights advocates have dubbed the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, which will ban certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom when it goes into effect in July. “There’s a particular story you could tell that’s about recent linear progress, say from 2003, when the Supreme Court struck down anti-sodomy statutes, to today,” said Tobia, the Georgetown Law professor. “But we’re still far from adequately protecting the rights of all LGBTQ Americans, and some recent events suggest renewed threats to pieces of the landscape that felt secure.”
