Beyond 303 Creative: LGBTQ Legal Rights in 2023 and Beyond

Constitutional and public law attorney Christopher Riano will moderate an LGBTQ Law Section panel at the New York State Bar Association's (NYSBA) Annual Meeting titled "Beyond 303 Creative: LGBTQ Legal Rights in 2023 and Beyond." This panel will explore current issues in the LGBTQ community that include, and go beyond, the First Amendment questions currently being litigated at the United States Supreme Court in 303 Creative. Considering the continued failure to pass the Equality Act and recent passage of the Respect for Marriage Act, LGBTQ rights are going to continue to be fought for at the state and federal levels. The speakers will explore these issues in order to better understand what is coming in the LGBTQ rights space for the community going forward. Mr. Riano currently serves as chair of the NYSBA LGBTQ Law Section.
