The panel reviewed the state of the law on protecting against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Such laws typically exempt small employers and entities with religious missions but some still claim that religious liberty is being restricted. Some argue that secular companies must accommodate workers asserting religious freedom claims even when this would otherwise violate anti-discrimination laws. On campuses, religious freedom claims are also being vigorously pursued in lawsuits and other challenges. How do we address both religious liberty and discrimination in various contexts?
