Breaking Down the Supreme Court’s Decision to Redefine “Sex” in Major LGBT Case
The United States Supreme Court came down with a landmark decision in Bostock v. Clayton County that will have sweeping consequences for religious freedom, free speech, and the privacy and safety of women.

On this week’s Capitol Connection Podcast, hear what this decision means for religious freedom, how it will impact people of faith and religious organizations, and what politicians and religious leaders are saying in response.
