Those justices appearing today to embrace discrimination against #LGBTQ+ people seem to forget America’s history of widespread discrimination against Catholics, Italian and Irish immigrants, women and others. We all need and depend on effective civil rights laws! (10of10)

[Jenny Pizer @JennyPizer]

Today’s #SCOTUS arguments in #303Creative confirm the business claims a right to reject #LGBTQ+ customers because the business is about publishing information. But it’s not the business owner’s information. She pitches her services to everyone then wants to discriminate. (1of10)

[Jenny Pizer @JennyPizer]

Counsel for #303Creative wraps anti-LGBTQ+ purpose with “love thy neighbor” language. It’s #gaslighting. As Justice Kennedy said in Obergefell, discrimination against #LGBTQ+ people reinforces stigma and inflicts harm. Religious motives don’t make it kind or loving. (9of10)

Lambda Legal joined @IEquality to fight the Trump administration’s “death to asylum” rule set to go into effect on Monday—a thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Happy to be working on this case with my amazing Lambda colleagues @JennyPizer and @omargp

Lambda Legal has long supported the rights of LGBTQ immigrants and asylum seekers and immigrants living with HIV—and we always will!

Refugees deserve a home that is safe and where they can thrive. #SaveAsylum

[Omar GP @omargp]

Boom! Second big filing of the day. We are suing the Trump administration over its new rule gutting the U.S. asylum system and making it virtually impossible for any refugee to obtain asylum, particularly LGBTQ and HIV+ refugees. #SaveAsylum

[Omar GP @omargp]

Incredibly proud to partner with @IEquality and @kramerlevin to represent organizations like @IEquality, @OasisLegal, @TransLatina_C, @OfficialBLMP, and @TransLawCenter, alongside my @LambdaLegal colleagues @JennyPizer and @saenzr03.

Supreme Court's most pro-LGBT justice dies https://t.co/sGY2Z8ZyNa via @keenNS

[Jenny Pizer @JennyPizer]

Heartbroken. Gutted. Loss of an inspiration. Torchbearer. Teacher. Model of brilliance, practicality, and wisdom. Must be the end of 5780, not start of 5781.

Thank you, Justice Ginsburg.

What my brilliant colleague Omar said. What a week so far!!

[Omar GP @omargp]

There's so much awfulness in the world, but this week has been one of joy and gratitude.
Monday: SCOTUS rules Title VII protects #LGBTQ people.
Wednesday: We win on behalf of a same-sex couple's child that State refused to recognize as US citizen.
Today: SCOTUS upholds #DACA.
