by

CLE Workshops & More

This panel will explore discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals and families in the child welfare system in three arenas: discrimination against LGBTQ+ parents, discrimination against / mistreatment of LGBTQ+ youth, and discrimination against LGBTQ+ prospective foster/adoptive parents. The latter will include discussion of the Fulton v. City of Philadelphia case currently pending before the United States Supreme Court. The discussion will emphasize the intersectional discrimination faced by BIPOC LGBTQ+ individuals and by LGBTQ+ individuals and families living in poverty.

Speakers: Lina Del Plato (The Legal Aid Society Juvenile Rights Practice); Nesta Johnson (National Center for Lesbian Rights); Nancy Polikoff (American University, Washington College of Law)
