Ep. 78 LGBT equality and the First Amendment

On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
speak with Rutgers Law School Professor Carlos Ball about his
book, “The First Amendment and LGBT Equality: A Contentious
History.”


During this conversation, we explore the history of how LGBT
activists utilized the First Amendment to secure their rights,
why Professor Ball considers that history “contentious,” and how
debates surrounding liberty and equality have roiled America for
over a century and continue to drive conversations about LGBT
rights today.
