Eighteen states have enacted clear prohibitions on gender identity discrimination in employment, and many more may follow suit. These legal developments recognize the complexities that may arise when a person transitions in the workplace. What are an employee’s rights and an employer’s responsibilities in this context? How does one balance the personal privacy interests of employees with the desire to maintain a diverse, inclusive and discrimination-free work environment? This panel will address some of the most common challenges and questions that may arise during a gender transition and provide practical guidance on proactive and appropriate handling of transition-related issues.

Plenary Session: Marriage Equality & Religious Liberty: The Crossroads or Crosshairs of the First Amendment?

Speakers: MODERATOR: Jason C. Marsili, Posner & Rosen, L.L.P., Los Angeles, CA PANELISTS: Jennifer C. Pizer, Lambda Legal, Los Angeles, CA David B. Rivkin Jr., Baker & Hostetler LLP, Washington, DC

Following the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in which the Court first acknowledged a fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment to marriage equality, several states and municipalities have enacted laws and ordinances protecting the free exercise of religious beliefs that oppose same-sex marriage. The First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), as well as contemplated executive orders, have since followed and threaten to protect anti-LGBTQ discrimination if predicted upon particular religious beliefs or moral convictions. With inevitable implications on employment practices, a sound understanding of the constitutional principles underlying this issue will assist practitioners addressing these issues in the workplace. Join these constitutional mavens as they acquaint attendees to the purported constitutional conflict and discuss its impact in the employment setting.

Scrutiny of the national gap in wages between men and women for comparable work has remained intense. But eliminating discrimination is not easy or simple. How should the wage gap be measured?

Sexual Orientation Workplace Protections at the Crossroads

Speakers: PANELISTS: Laura J. Maechtlen, Seyfarth Shaw, San Francisco, CA Megann McManus, Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C., New York, NY Gregory Nevins, Lambda Legal, New York, NY Daniel T. Vail, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Washington, DC Adelmise Roseme Warner, Pandora, Oakland, CA

Historically, federal courts have been reluctant to interpret Title VII as protecting claims based on sexual orientation discrimination. Relying on longstanding Supreme Court precedent, however, the EEOC recently has argued for robust safeguards for workers of all sexual orientations under the sex discrimination prohibitions in Title VII. And the Seventh Circuit en banc has ruled that Title VII prohibits sexual orientation discrimination. What does the future hold for sexual orientation discrimination claims in the workplace? What effect, if any, will the legal developments for transgender workers have on this issue? This panel will focus on the dynamic legal landscape relating to sexual orientation discrimination, with special attention to recent court rulings, updates to EEOC guidance, and trends with in-house counsel.

“Intersectionality” and Discrimination Claims Involving Multiple Categories

Speakers: PANELISTS: Oswald Cousins, Miller Law Group, San Francisco, CA John Henderson, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Baltimore, MD LaRell Purdie, SEIU, Washington, DC Anne B. Shaver, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, San Francisco, CA

From its origins in critical race theory, the idea of “Intersectionality,” holds that the classical categories of oppression (race, gender, class, sexual orientation, etc.) do not operate independently, but rather intersect to create multiple, non-discrete forms of discrimination. The law’s embrace of discrimination claims, however, based on “multiple protected categories” has been partial and uneven and awkward to apply (for example, when different bases of discrimination have different statutes of limitations and different burdens of proof). The panel will consider the evolution of judicial treatment and litigation of such claims against the social science theory and the practical experiences of workers and employers.
