Lucien DhoogeA SURVEY OF PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION STATUTES AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: FREE ACCESS OR FREE EXERCISE?
This presentation will examine issues posed by the wide variety of state public accommodation statutes in the context of sexual orientation and religious freedom. The presentation will focus on whether there should be a religious exemption for secular businesses from public accommodation statutes that protect prospective patrons from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The presentation will examine this issue in the context of protecting free exercise of religion versus offering services to all members of the public equally and without distinction.
Lunch will be provided. Please register here.
