He said this year\u2019s event will span four weeks with themed festivals with limited attendance. The smaller gatherings will give people a chance to focus on the stories that make Pride so great. The themes include Pride OUTside, Arts + Qulture, and Taste of PrideFest, as well as more family-friendly events to celebrate all the different ways people create and define their families.

For example, the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision in&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/cases\/bostock-v-clayton-county-georgia\/\">Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia<\/a><\/em>, in June last year extended Title VII protections against employment discrimination on the basis of sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat was huge,\u201d he said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent federal policy changes include the new Biden Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/executive-order-preventing-and-combating-discrimination-on-basis-of-gender-identity-or-sexual-orientation\/\">executive order<\/a> to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanprogress.org\/issues\/lgbtq-rights\/news\/2021\/04\/28\/498775\/timeline-biden-administrations-efforts-support-lgbtq-equality-first-100-days\/\">rescindment<\/a> of the ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The Florida Commission on Human Rights also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baynews9.com\/fl\/tampa\/politics\/2021\/02\/09\/state-agency-grants-protection-against-discrimination-for-all-lgbtq-floridians\">affirmed<\/a> it would protect members of the LGBTQ community from employment discrimination, as well as housing discrimination under the Florida Fair Housing Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo there\u2019s all sorts of reason to be hopeful and excited about the current environment,\u201d Morrisey said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there has been conservative backlash to LGBTQIA victories, he added, and the worst of them target transgender people. Since beginning of 2021, there have been 80 state initiatives that would discriminate against transgender people, including prohibitions on transgender youth from participating in sports and having access to healthcare. These are thinly veiled attempts at discrimination that should not make it into law and those that do should be challenged, Morrissey said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November 2020, the Supreme Court heard <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/cases\/fulton-v-city-philadelphia\">Fulton v. City of Philadelphia<\/a><\/em>, and its decision is due any day. The case could allow private agencies that receive taxpayer-funding to provide government services \u2014 such as foster care providers, food banks, homeless shelters, and more \u2014 to deny services to people who are LGBTQ, Jewish, Muslim, or Mormon. Morrissey said it is uncertain how the Court may rule on the case given the new conservative supermajority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Law students, as future advocates, must understand the full effect of how court decisions and federal policies impact all levels of society so they can help take up these battles, ensure these voices are heard, and continue the victories, he said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other News<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lambda Legal Society is planning a new student Mentorship Program to provide support for incoming law students.
