We are coming to you at the end of a busy news week, in part, courtesy of the Supreme Court. LGBT rights advocates had a big win at the Supreme Court Monday, winning a sweeping decision from the justices that protects gay, lesbian and transgender employees in the workplace from being fired, demoted or paid less based on their sexual orientation -- a 6-3 victory to those arguing for anti-discrimination protections. This Thursday, June 18, the Supreme Court also blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to end legal protections for 650,000 young immigrants. Immigrants who are part of the 8-year-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program will retain their protection from deportation and authorization to work in the United States. The decision was a 5-4 outcome, with Chief Justice John Roberts and the four liberal justices were in the majority. On this episode, we speak about what these decisions mean for how companies will respond to the LGBT decision and what the DACA decision means for Latinos and their contributions to the economy. We invited Moe Vela, the first Latino and LGBT to serve twice in The White House in a senior executive role, to speak to this on this episode. Vela was born and raised in the Southern tip of Texas on the Mexican border and proudly Mexican American. He was CFO and Senior Advisor on Latino and LGBT matters to Vice President Al Gore. He was also most recently Director of Management and Administration and Senior Advisor on Latino and LGBT Affairs to Vice President Joe Biden. He is an attorney and ownsVela Group, a global business development consulting firm with clients in the United States and Latin America. We get his take on these decisions and commentary on business trends he’s noticing from Latino clients and what the future could hold for the next generation of Latinos powering the American economy.

When the city of Philadelphia announced in 2017 that they'd adopted a rainbow flag that included black and brown stripes, they ignited a global debate. Many of us finally felt seen. Others felt the international symbol of pride had somehow been ruined. But the adoption of this flag is the result of what my guest today calls a 30 year conversation. Amber Hikes is the executive director of the Mayor’s Office of LGBT Affairs for the City of Philadelphia and she leads the team that initiated the move to a more inclusive flag. She says the eight-stripe flag is a way of demonstrating the city’s commitment to tackling inequality, discrimination and racism within the LGBTQ community. At the Mayor’s office for a city that is 44% Black, Amber fights for the most vulnerable populations within the LGBTQ community. From advocating for anti-discrimination legislation at the municipal level to the launch of a citywide LGBTQ Community Conversations initiative, she helps facilitate local and international conversations about race, discrimination and intersectionality. Amber is seriously impressive and our conversation stretches across the span of her life to understand more about what makes the woman behind the activism tick.— — @_busybeingblack is the podcast exploring how we live in the fullness of our queer Black lives.
