Supreme Court Ruling on Queer Job Rights Is Limited Victory
Prof. Dean Spade
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does forbid job discrimination against workers on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity, in 3 cases brought by two gay men and a trans woman. This decision has been hailed by many queer activists and advocates as a big victory for our freedom, but our guest tonight, transgender activist and law professor Dean Spade, has a very different perspective. He notes the severe limitations of anti-discrimination laws in actually changing any type of discriminatory behavior, and notes that many poor queers and queers of color continue to face declining income and violence. In the first of a two-part interview, Dean urges LGBTQ+ people to look toward liberatory movements, not court cases -- particularly those with an intersectional, multi-oppression focus -- for progress toward real freedom. This is Part 1 of Bob Lederer's interview with Dean Spade.
