Rising Up With Sonali 5am

Is “Religious Liberty” Code for Discrimination?

First, headlines. Then, as Attorney General Jeff Sessions announces the formation of a so-called Religious Liberty Task Force, we’ll turn to Rachel Laser of Americans United for Separation of Church and State about the dangers of such a task-force and how it can be a license to discriminate. Then, we’ll spend the second half of our show with Cory Albertson who has explored how television shows have influenced American attitudes toward LGBT rights for good or ill. Albertson’s new book is called A Perfect Union? Television and the Winning of Same-Sex Marriage.

Hosted by Sonali Kolhatkar.
