Examining ‘Free Exercise of Religion’


The State Bar of Michigan’s LGBTQ+ Law Section will present a virtual Lunch &?Learn event on “LGBTQ+ Justice: Free Exercise of Religion & Establishment Clause Considerations” Friday, May 3, from noon to 1 p.m.

As LGBTQ+ equality laws have been adopted, those opposing these developments often seek an exemption based on their religious beliefs.

This argument has been used in cases involving discrimination, adoption, foster care, access to wedding services, the use of pronouns, LGBTQ+ training, voir dire, free speecheducational curricula, and more.

Speaking at the online program will be Wayne State University Law School Prof. Christopher Lund, Michigan State University College of Law Prof. Frank Ravitch and Christine A. Yared, section chair.
