On this episode of the Rules of the Game podcast (the first in an eight-part, issue-specific podcast series), we'll discuss recent headlines impacting the LGBTQ+ community and explain how nonprofits can take action with legislative, executive branch, and judicial branch advocacy. From responding to executive orders to initiating litigation, nonprofits across the country are standing up to fight for our rights. This episode will highlight their work and provide information about the rules that apply when nonprofits engage in advocacy on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. Attorneys for this episode Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort Sarah Efthymiou Brittany Hacker Show notes · Current Events/EOs: o PFLAG Policy Matters Newsletter-federal and state-by-state legislative and litigation actions o One EO creates Narrow definition of sex as binary male or female and has multiple other impacts § Directs HHS secretary to end coverage for gender-affirming care through the Affordable Care Act § Plans to move trans women in federal custody to men's prisons o Attempting to stop gender affirming care for people under 19 o Banning transgender people from serving in the military o Administration terminated grants funded by the NIH focused on LGBTQ+ health issues. Planning to shut down the HIV prevention division of the CDC. o Attacks on DEI initiatives and other generally bad EOs: dismantling department of ed, eliminating funding for nonprofits · Advocacy o Non-partisan 101: cannot support or oppose candidates for office o Educating the public: stay updated on changes to law § Lead or attend trainings and conferences § March 31 is trans day of visibility § Orgs like HRC and PFLAG are doing a great job tracking and reporting on EOs and changes to laws o Executive branch advocacy: § EO advocacy is not lobbying under tax code definitions § Oppose executive cabinet actions: submitting comments to proposed regulation changes like the State Department gender markers. Advocates for Trans Equality and others made easy guides and platforms on how to do this. o Hold a rally: SCOTUS rally April 2 for case about access to Planned Parenthood services through Medicaid (Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic) o Litigation: § Almost all of Trump's actions affecting the LGBTQ+ community are already being heard in the courts and are currently on hold § PFLAG v. Trump: challenging EO that withholds funds from medical providers that provide gender-affirming care for people under 19 (currently have a preliminary injunction) § Federal judge granted preliminary injunction halting the trans military ban: NCLR and GLAD lawsuit § Ohio state appellate court ruled the state's gender-affirming care ban unconstitutional · Lobbying o Tax Code Lobbying 101: Public charities can lobby! Track and report your local, state, and federal lobbying and stay within your limits. o Federal trans athlete ban: was brought up and failed to advance in the Senate—lobbying win! o Emphasize state-level work, local laws, ballot measures § Sanctuary cities for trans healthcare § Make protections for LGBTQ+ community greater than what the federal law requires o Remember: § State / local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. § Ballot measure advocacy could implicate state / local campaign finance and election laws.

Eric and Don are joined by some NCLR legends (Jared and Erin. We have a good hang and talk all things rover's, pinball, and creepy dolls.
In this episode we're straying from the rock novels camp to talk about a single short story, entitled “A Wayfarer at Devil's Elbow,” written by North Carolina author, Pushcart Prize nominee, and musician Emily Alice Katz. The story, which appears in the new online issue of ‘North Carolina Literary Review' was a finalist in the 2022 Doris Betts Fiction Prize, an annual competition sponsored by the North Carolina Writers' Network, with winning entries and some finalists published in ‘NCLR'. Full disclosure: I serve as Senior Associate Editor of the journal. You can find a link in the show notes to the new issue of ‘NCLR', where you can read Emily's story and all the other amazing stories, essays, and poetry in the issue. Emily Alice Katz's short fiction has appeared in such literary journals as ‘North Carolina Literary Review,' ‘Salamander', ‘Jelly Bucket', ‘Meridian', ‘South Carolina Review', and ‘storySouth'. Her short story collection, ‘The Book of Nut and Other Stories', was designated a finalist for the 2019 Eludia Award. And her short story “Little Hen” is included in the 2022 anthology ‘Frankly Feminist: Short Stories by Jewish Women from “Lilith Magazine”.' She has a PhD in modern Jewish studies from the Jewish Theological Seminary. Her book, 'Bringing Zion Home: Israel in American Jewish Culture, 1948-1967', was published in 2015. “A Wayfarer at Devil's Elbow” follows a young music journalist in her quest to locate and interview an obscure 1970s experimental rock musician from the mountains of North Carolina, Nyssa Adcock, who has fallen off the musical map and become a recluse and a bit of a rock ‘n roll mystery. Fans of this period in music history and Appalachian literature and lore will be enchanted by the story, an excerpt from which Emily reads at the beginning of the episode, and our discussion. You'll also hear an abundance of Appalachian music as well as Emily's own music. See the playlist below. Special thanks to Tim Randall and Hub Respess for providing the voices of music critics in the opening.

I just want to say this level of hate is fueled by fear and ignorance. Plain and simple. One of my jobs is to report on it so you're aware and so you can support people, organizations, and movements fighting on our behalf. Today it's NCLR and I'm grateful for their work because it's more than a full time job to keep up with the hateful well oiled machine that is the Republican anti-trans & anti-lgbtq movement. They are obsessed with our trans fam right now and there are lots of ways to fight and NCLR does their fighting in the courtroom. 00:00 - Welcome & Intro 01:05 - E3 Radio Ad, Tune-in at https://e3radio.fm #QueerRadioDoneRight 01:28 - Intro Music by Aina Bre'Yon 02:08 - NCLR fights back against anti-trans & anti-LGBTQ legislation across the country 07:15 - Anna's Got A Word Things for you to check out Justice Access + Equity Donation Form https://www.nclrights.org/get-involved/justicefund/donate Stop Florida's “Don't Say Gay Or Trans” Legislation https://www.nclrights.org/our-work/discrimination/dont-say-gay-or-trans Queer News Report on NCLR Taking the Fight to Florida https://e3radio.fm/ftfx About Queer News An intersectional approach to daily news podcast where race & sexuality meet politics, entertainment and culture.

It's called Benzing a sax to watch podcast. My name is Brent Slava. I'm head of the Benzinga pro Newsdesk. And joining me is one of my partners on the news desk and one of our senior reporters, Steve Kraus, Steve what's going on.Hey, everyone. Not much. How's nice. We had a nice little long weekend this last weekend. How was your nice long. It was great. It was great. The markets were closed on Monday due to president's data and hopefully someone got some good furniture deals with some mattresses some cars all the classics.But now we're back into the short trading week and we've got some we're in the midst of earning season. You said it, and we are going to talk about the earnings. And the podcast say I wanted to give just a really quick intro here for what this podcast is going to be out. So on the Benzinger protein, we publish a daily piece of content for Benzing approa premium subscribers.It's called the stocks to watch list. And the intent of that piece of content is just to get. Our Benzing pro users, a few ideas, a handful of ideas on stocks that the Benzing and Newsdesk thinks could be volatile today, could see some extra trader interests. And so the idea here is just to turn that piece of content into something audio so y'all can listen while you are getting prepared for your market trading day.And Stevia gave a nice little segue there. This is going to be the busy earning season of the Q4 earnings season. And it's not as many exciting names reporting right now, but there are going to be a lot of companies reporting. And so what we want to do really quick for our podcast today, it's only going to be a few minutes.Each day is give a little. Of the sacks that we have on our radar for earnings this week, also go into a little bit of why earnings are important for trader and investor, and then give a couple tips on where you can find some of this information on benzo. How does that sound? Steve sounds great to me.Yeah, we definitely have, like you said, not the most exciting news we've already had apple, Microsoft we've already had our big hitters are portable. We still have some fairly important media companies. Palo Alto network tonight. That's Tuesday night, 22nd Palo Alto network, pan w that's a cybersecurity slash software play Teladoc, T D O C.That's a another software play. Yeah, the go-to play for the tele-health play. If you're interested in something like. Yup. We've got a toll brothers, tol home builders. So some infrastructure play right there and a CZR very popular that Caesar's that's a a sports betting slash casino play was part of the reopening stocks play.And so that's just for Tuesday, Steve and I are just going to bounce through a list, put some of these tickers on. Wednesday before the market open, we're going to be getting lows. That's the home improvement, retailer, ticker low. Keep in mind that home Depot, ticker HD Digitas have earnings today.And also pre-market tomorrow that's Wednesday TJX companies. They're sorta like an off-brand lower price retailer after hours tomorrow, Wednesday, eBay, E B a Y and also lemonade, L M N. How about Thursday, Steve? Oh my God. Thursday is the day. Thursday's always the day for earnings, but man, this week is going to be a big one.Okay. So pre-market, we've got Alibaba, which is the Amazon of Asia. The ABA, we got Medina, obviously the big vaccine plate I'm RNA. Those are premium. After hours we've got square or block is the rebranding sq, we got grub hub. G R U B Coinbase, C O I N Z, scaler, Z S beyond meat. BYN D VMware VMW and first solar FSLR.We got MNS T, which is monster beverage. R K T rocket mortgage NCL, H which is Norwegian cruise lines, reopening plate and Del D E L L. That is a big list for Thursday. And that is just the top identified stocks. They're definitely going to be probably a hundred. 150 more than that as well.And then Friday rounded off the lists here, nothing super excited on Friday, but didn't want to get Footlocker on everyone's radar, that sticker FL. So there's your list of earnings plays a lot of potential earnings plays for this week really quickly wanted to just go into a couple of. On why earnings are important and earnings are probably like the top news catalysts that you can find.If there is any type of news item that is going to move a stock, always it'll either be like MNA, a big M and a deal, or pretty much. The thing to keep in mind with earnings is that the results that you're getting are for a quarter in the past the quarter ended at the end of December in this case for the Q4 earnings season, we are in Q1, but companies are reporting their results for last quarter.That being said, when you are reading earnings reports, when you're looking at earnings reports, remember that a lot of companies will give guidance. They'll give an outlook, they'll give something forward. Look. And that is forward-looking. So a lot of. Earnings is going to be the headline that people focus on, but guidance can be even more important than earnings can sometimes.So keep your eyes on the guidance and then also something to look out for in these earnings releases. And Steve, if you don't mind going through in a sec here, and he can describe a little bit on where to find some of this information on earnings, keep in mind in those earnings press releases, you are going to get information about potential shareholder payout, and dividends. Those are, that's another couple types of news items that you'll see contained within an earnings. Yeah, exactly. Usually they call it guidance or outlook the that's the forward-looking projection. And if you see a company ported, a beat on earnings last quarter, and yet they're going down, don't understand why go check out some guidance, go look for some outlook.Maybe their projections for the future have been cut back a little bit. Maybe they're. They're expecting something worse than what the street is expecting. That tends to be a better indicator of why something is moving. Like that guidance is a good thing to look for immediately after earnings Steve.So where can users find this information? They were doing a lot of the information for users on Benzing pro you can tune into your newsfeed, turn on the BZ wire, and those will be the headlines. You are seeing, coming from human reporters on the Benzinga team, but Steve, like where are we getting our information from?So companies are reporting straight through press releases, or sec filings. They're going to release them basically starting at four o'clock and all the way through five o'clock every day. Five minutes, 10 minutes. We're going to get batches of press releases coming in, and our reporters are going to be scanning through these reporting earnings, guidance, buybacks M and A's restructuring rebranding. The, these are when companies will we'll announce that kind of stuff. The press releases. That's the raw information that companies are choosing to disclose in a fair manner, the information that they view as material to investors. And again, the Benzinga pro reporters are sifting through all of that information to get you some of the headlines stuff that we think is the most important.But if you do. Look in those press releases. Look in those sec filings on your own. You can also find that information in Benzinga pro. If you go to the newsfeed, there's a button that says sources and you can turn on press releases. You can turn on sec finds and you can get some of that raw information on your own.If. Yeah. And another great way to is the details tool. I use this all the time. The details tool has a tab that's just for sec filings. One is just for press releases. One is just for BZ wire. So if you're looking to see you just want to see press releases on Norwegian cruise line. You can go to the details type in NCLR and click that press release button.And you can see in real time when that's going to come in or you click the. You know how you can have all tab, click, and you can see when it comes in, when we report, when benzinga.com written article about it. So you can stay up to date on if you're watching one particular stock details is a great place, a great hub to go to watch that one stock love it.I love it. Good little tip there, Steve, for the users that pretty much wraps it up. Ladies and gentlemen, these are going to be quick little podcasts, not more than 10 minutes. We'll get you the information that'll prep your day, and then we'll get you on your way to get your trading done for the day. And that'll be it for us today, ladies and gentlemen, everyone have a great trading day. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Charles Kamasaki (Unidos US) & Sister Norma Pimentel (Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley) engaged in a timely conversation exploring immigrants' rights in the US, including how they have historically been understood and changed over time, and the current policy decisions that drive today's US immigration issues. Charles Kamasaki shared a national perspective and Sister Norma Pimentel gave first hand accounts of what is happening at the Texas-Mexico border, including the impact of these policies on thousands of families each year. Their addresses were followed by a moderated conversation with Q&A facilitated by Frances Valdez, Executive Director of Houston in Action. About the Presenters Charles Kamasaki is Senior Cabinet Advisor of UnidosUS, formerly the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). Previously the Executive Vice President of NCLR, Kamasaki for two decades managed the group's research, policy analysis, and advocacy activity. He has authored, co-authored, and supervised the preparation of dozens of policy and research reports, journal articles, and editorials, testified frequently at Congressional and Administrative hearings, coordinated pro bono litigation and legal analysis, and represented the organization at research and policy conferences and symposia. Kamasaki is also a Resident Fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, where he conducted research that produced the book, Immigration Reform: The Corpse That Will Not Die (Mandel-Vilar Press, 2019), about the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and its follow-on bill the Immigration Act of 1990, the last comprehensive immigration reforms enacted into law. Norma Pimentel, a Sister with the Missionaries of Jesus, is Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley for over 12 years. She oversees the charitable arm of the Diocese of Brownsville, providing oversight of different ministries & services in the Rio Grande Valley through emergency assistance, homelessness prevention, disaster relief, clinical counseling, pregnancy care, food programs, and the Humanitarian Respite Center. Sister Norma has been recognized by many organizations for her humanitarian work on the US-Mexico border overseeing the provision of a safe space for migrants to rest and regain strength.

She was also named to the 2020 TIME100 list of the most influential people in the world. Moderator Frances Valdez (she/her) is the Executive Director of Houston in Action, a collective impact initiative that believes that by working together to reduce systemic barriers we can increase civic participation in the greater Houston region.

In 2021, that work continued post-Census to include coordinating efforts for equitable Covid vaccination access in Harris County, the creation of Unity Maps with member organizations to affect redistricting lines, and the implementation and funding of Black, Latinx and AAPI Grassroots Organizing Cohorts in Houston. Prior to starting Houston in Action, Valdez had a 13-year career as an immigration attorney, advocacy and policy advisor, director, and civic engagement coordinator within the immigrant rights movement.

La Xicanista Podcast | A show about all things Chicane as told by a feminist Xicana.
Welcome to the first episode! The topic of this first episode is the Latine identity crisis. In this episode, I define the different labels used to identify ourselves as an ethnic group such as Hispanic, Latino/a, and Latinx/e. I will also clarify that these labels only describe our ethnic identity, not our race. Then, I will talk briefly about José Vasconcelos and his essay, La Raza cósmica. Vasconcelos was a controversial Mexican politician, philosopher, and author known to have defended eugenics in his writings and later in life held antisemitic beliefs and sympathize with the Nazis by writing for the racist magazine known as Timón. However, the ideas presented in his essay, La Raza cósmica, became a staple in the formation of the NCLR, National Council of La Raza, and the Chicano movement. Anti-Blackness and anti-indigeneity are prevalent in the Latine community. And, in a way, the eurocentric ideologies of Vasconcelos only served to push these sentiments within the Latine community over the years. However, we must be able to think critically, understand and recognize, historically, where these sentiments came from, just how embedded they are in our cultural beliefs and work actively to fight against them if we are truly going to move forward as the "cosmic race." Here's a list of resources I found interesting as I learned about the complex and controversial Mexican politician and philosopher, José Vasconcelos. Read La Raza cósmica for FREE here. Yo te perdono José Vasconcelos (TEDx Talks en español) This is a video of a chef who became disillusioned by the lack of diversity in gastronomy in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo León. He became much more disappointed because of Vasconcelos's theory that "Norteños" were barbaric in nature due to the climate of the region and therefore, their gastronomy was limited to just grilling meats. This chef pardons Vasconcelos's ideologies and actually thanks him. Vasconcelos's negative sentiments toward the people of this chef's home of Monterrey, Nuevo León, pushed him to be stubborn enough to defy his ideologies and find success in diversifying the gastronomy of an entire state. I'd say the same can be applied in other sectors besides gastronomy.
"What are some of the most extreme forms of intolerance?" "What happens at a conversion therapy camp?" "Is that still allowed?" "How do you survive?" "How do you continue surviving?"On this episode, I interview my dear friend, talented lighting designer, and overall wonderful human being, Justice (they/them, he/him) where we discuss their experience of going to a "restorative therapy camp" (also known as a conversion therapy camp), as well as the lasting effects this can have on a Queer person. Justice--like the experience of many Queer people--was born into a heavily Christian and Texan family who believed that loving someone of the same-sex was a mental illness that could be fixed through "proper treatment." It was after their mom discovered their internet browser history and what they had been looking at that they were awakened in the middle of the night and forced to go somewhere where they had no knowledge of the horrors they would endure. This unfortunate narrative is common for many Queer people and a very real part of Queer history. It was in 1973 that homosexuality was deemed not a mental illness or sickness by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). However, Queer people and allies are still fighting to this day for this to actually be a reality. Twenty-Nine states still have no laws that ban conversion therapy; qualified transgender Americans are banned from serving in the military; and it wasn't until recently that Title VII included discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identification. In listening to this episode, I, Justice, and countless other Queer people who face discrimination hope you not only love and nurture Queer people but actively work to protect us and our rights as well.Follow Justice:Website: https://www.justinbeets.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beets_me/National Center For Lesbian Rights Born Perfect campaign:Learn: --Born Perfect: http://www.nclrights.org/our-work/born-perfect/ --NCLR: http://www.nclrights.orgDonate: https://secure2.convio.net/ncflr/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app217b?4020.donation=form1&df_id=4020&mfc_pref=TResources for further learning:Watch Boy Erased: https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Erased-Lucas-Hedges/dp/B07JZDBMS9"When Gay Was Not Okay with the APA: A Historical Overview of Homosexuality and its Status as Mental Disorder": https://cedar.wwu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1001&context=orwwu"The Lies and Dangers of Reparative Therapy": https://www.hrc.org/resources/the-lies-and-dangers-of-reparative-therapy"Frequently Ask Questions on the Transgender Military Ban": https://notransmilitaryban.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Transgender-Military-Ban-FAQ-Updated-9.18.19.pdfJoin The Trevor Project to End Conversion Therapy: https://p2a.co/rQaDTzkShow Produced by Nick EiblerEdited by Addison McKissackTheme Song written by Matt Gregory, Colin Egan, and Mike Hubbard Produced by Colin Egan and Mike HubbardLogo Design by David Pavón
Shannon Minter, Legal Director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about his work with “Born Perfect” to end conversion therapy. NCLR launched “Born Perfect” in 2014 to protect LGBTQ children and young people by fighting in courtrooms to ensure their safety and raising awareness about the serious harms caused by these dangerous practices. Their efforts have led to banning conversion therapy in 20 states and over 70 municipalities in the United States. For over 20 years NCLR has been working to protect LGBTQ youth from these horrific practices by working with legislators and LGBTQ leaders in dozens of states to help bring similar protections to the rest of the country. They believe that every LGBTQ child is born perfect and that any young person’s identity as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender should be honored, celebrated and supported. “Born Perfect” is also led by Mathew Shurka, Co-Founder and Chief Strategist who is a survivor of conversion therapy when at 16 years old his father took him to a licensed therapist who claimed he could make gay people straight. It was the start of years of cruel and damaging “therapy” that left Mathew estranged from his family and his own identity. He then decided to take action posting his personal story on YouTube where it went viral. It was the start of his journey to forgive his father and therapist, reconcile with his family and lead a nationwide battle to end conversion therapy. We talked to Shannon about what he hopes to accomplish with “Born Perfect”, his reaction to the historic U. S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and his spin on our LGBTQ issues. Shannon Minter is one of the nation’s leading advocates for LGBTQ people. Minter was lead counsel for the landmark California marriage equality case which held that gay and lesbian couples have the fundamental right to marry and that laws that discriminate based on sexual orientation are inherently discriminatory and subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny. Shannon was named a California Lawyer of the Year in 2009 by California Lawyer. He also received the Dan Bradley Award from the National Gay and Lesbian Bar Association for outstanding work in marriage cases and was the recipient of the Cornell Law School Exemplary Public Service Award in 2008. In the United States over 700,000 people have been through conversion therapy. Through “Born Perfect” Mathew Shurka and Minter are working with legislators and LGBTQ leaders to end these dangerous and stigmatizing practices everywhere.

To date, 20 states and almost 70 municipalities in the US have passed laws to protect LGBTQ youth from conversion therapy through the legal work of a legal group called "Born Perfect." So-called “conversion therapy” that promises to make gay people straight has been condemned by every major medical and mental health organization, yet it continues to happen in every state. Kids subjected to it are often exposed to traumatic practices that often result in severe mental health challenges and suicides. Our guest today is Mathew Shurka, the co-founder of Born Perfect. During his five years of conversion therapy from ages 16-21, Mathew endured many different types of fraudulent and scientifically discredited “treatments” that he was told would “cure” his homosexuality. Most traumatizing, he was instructed to stay away from his mother and two sisters for three years based on the false belief that being gay is caused by a man being too close to his mother or other female relatives. Mathew sought out treatment for the trauma he endured and reconciled with his family. At 24 he began advocating to end conversion therapy with The National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and worked with NCLR to create Born Perfect in 2014. Today we explore the terror that such bogus "therapies" instill, where they are practiced and what can be done to stop them. With co-host Brody Levesque.

This week, attorney Kate Kendell talks about her work with Pack the Courts, a new organization aimed at doing exactly what its name says—add additional justices to the U.S. Supreme Court to counter the court's current conservative majority. Is it a good idea? Is it fair? Does it set a good or bad precedent for future political movements in the country? Join us for a discussion of the organization and the movement. Until the end of 2018, Kendell led the National Center for Lesbian Rights, a national legal organization committed to advancing the civil and human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their families through litigation, public policy advocacy, and public education. She also serves as co-chair of OutWOMEN, Out Leadership's talent accelerator engaging and celebrating LGBT+ women in business.

Shannon is the NCLR's Legal Director, and the organization is one of the nation’s leading advocacy groups for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. With co-host Brody Levesque.

The researchers call the proof-of-concept exploit KRACK, or Key Reinstallation attacks. What it does is it tells devices connecting to the network to reinstall the network key and replace the password with all zeros. This lets in criminals to steal essentially anything off of your computer. The hack is particularly effective against Android and Linux devices, although other devices aren't immune. Further, websites encrypted with https protocol are also vulnerable. Fortunately, you can still install updates even if your device has already been hacked using this method. Dan Goodin explains in Ars Technica. Black and Hispanic lawmakers challenge tech companies on diversity, racist ads In closed-door meetings, the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses met with Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg last week. According to Politico, the CBC blasted Facebook for allowing Russian operatives to place ads designed to stoke racial resentment. The ads were intended to sway the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. Additionally, the CBC challenged Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg about the lack of racial and ethnic diversity at the company. CBC Chair Cedric Richmond pointed to a persistent lack of staff and board diversity. Further, Sandberg met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. In addition to the diversity CBC raised issues, CHC reportedly focused on recovery efforts in Puerto Rico and the status of 700,000 Dreamers. Heather Caygle and Elana Schor report in Politico.

Supreme Court asks DOJ to weigh in on Apple case The Supreme Court has asked the Department of Justice to weigh in on whether the Court should hear a class-action against Apple. The case involves the 30% commissions Apple charges app developers to be included in the App store. However, customers--people who download the apps--are the ones bringing the class-action. Apple is saying the customers don't have standing since they're not the ones being charged the commission. Andrew Chung has the story in Reuters.

GAY CONVERSION THERAPY – REALLY? In case you never heard of it, some people think they can convert gays, especially young people, into heterosexuals by using a type of “therapy.” Really! Of course this assumes that being gay is like a bad habit or mental illness that can be cured. So what is this all about, does it help, does it hurt, and what are we doing about it? Oregon is one state among several that recently passed a law prohibiting conversion therapy, and other states are considering such bans. Samantha Ames is an attorney with the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) knows about conversion, what it’s supposed to do and what it really does. She’s served as a Policy Fellow in Washington, D.C. before moving to San Francisco to work as a staff attorney focusing on conversion therapy cases. She has testified on the harms of conversion therapy and the constitutionality of efforts to end it before both state and federal bodies, as well as at the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva, Switzerland. Please join us to learn more about conversion and the hype around it. Call-in to share your opinions and questions at (646) 378-0430.

Since 2002, Ms. Stewart has served as Chief Deputy City Attorney under San Francisco City Attorney, Dennis J. Herrera, overseeing the City and County's civil litigation and representing San Francisco and its officials in key cases. Previously, she was a partner at Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin, where she handled complex business litigation in state and federal courts. From February 2004 through May 2008, Ms. Stewart headed a team of deputy city attorneys and private firm lawyers representing Plaintiff City and County of San Francisco in the Marriage Cases, which were litigated in the state trial and appellate courts. She presented oral argument to the California Supreme Court on March 4, 2008, and the high court decision was issued on May 15, 2008. The Marriage Cases consisted of six coordinated cases involving state constitutional challenges to California's laws excluding same-sex couples from marriage. These cases are the first in the nation in which a local government body has joined with lesbian and gay couples to challenge a state's marriage laws. The City and the couples raised claims under the California Constitution's equal protection, liberty, privacy and free association clauses. They prevailed in the Superior Court, lost on appeal, and ultimately won in the California Supreme Court. The May 15, 2008 decision held that the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage unjustifiably discriminates against lesbians and gay men and denies them of fundamental liberty and autonomy privacy interests in entering into a state-sanctioned family relationship equal in dignity to other state-sanctioned family relationships. Ms. Stewart and the City Attorney team also defended Mayor Newsom when his decision to issue marriage licenses to thousands of same-sex couples was challenged in 2004. The California Supreme Court ruled that the Mayor and other City officials lacked the power to refuse to enforce the limitation of marriage to opposite sex couples based on their belief that such limitation violated the Constitution. To learn more about the San Francisco City Attorney's Office go to www.sfgov.org. Ms. Stewart has long represented parties and amicus curiae in LGBT civil rights cases, including the airlines' challenge to San Francisco's Equal Benefits Ordinance, a lesbian police officer discrimination suit against the City of Sacramento, an early equal protection challenge to the State's denial of equal benefits to partners of lesbian and gay employees, and a case challenging the Defense Department's denial of security clearances to lesbians and gay men. In the 1990's, Ms. Stewart served as the first Co-Chair of the Bar Association of San Francisco's Committee on Sexual Orientation, which developed guidelines for legal employers on eliminating sexual orientation discrimination. In the 1980's, she served on the Board of the Lesbian Rights Project (currently known as the National Center for Lesbian Rights), and her firm later assisted NCLR in changing its name and obtaining non-profit status. She also served on the Board of Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom, San Francisco's lesbian and gay bar association. In 1999, Ms. Stewart served as the first openly gay President of the Bar Association of San Francisco. In that capacity, she co-founded BASF's School-To-College Program, which provides mentoring and guidance to inner city high school students to help them prepare for, select, and apply to college. Ms. Stewart currently serves on a Task Force of the California Judicial Council's Commission on Judicial Independence, and the Boards of the Northern District of California Historical Society and the Legal Aid Society/Employment Law Center. She is also a member of the American Bar Association's recently established Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Commission. She has previously been a lawyer delegate for Northern District of California to the Ninth Circuit and a State Bar delegate to the American Bar Association. Ms. Stewart was recognized as a California Superlawyer in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Ms. Stewart received her B.A. with Distinction from Cornell University in 1978 and her J.D. from Boalt Hall School of Law in 1981, where she was awarded Order of the Coif and received Am Jur awards in Constitutional and Criminal Law. Ms. Stewart was Editor-in-Chief of Ecology Law Quarterly and a research assistant to Professors Paul Mishkin and William Fletcher. From 1981-1982, she was a law clerk to Judge Phyllis A. Kravitch of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
