The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday held a press conference in Salt Lake City asking that laws be passed to prevent discrimination against the state’s LGBT communities. The request lends support to the possibility of nondiscrimination ordinances related to housing and employment to advance at the Utah State Legislature. Cliff Rosky, a professor of law at the University of Utah’s S.J. Quinney College of Law, teaches courses on constitutional law, criminal law, and sexuality, gender and law. Before arriving in Utah, he served as a research fellow for the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law & Public Policy at the UCLA School of Law. While at the Williams Institute, he submitted an amicus brief in the successful same-sex marriage appeal to the California Supreme Court, developed teaching materials for a casebook on sexual orientation and law, and co-authored over 30 demographic reports on lesbian, gay, and bisexual populations in the United States. Rosky is available to offer legal commentary about the recent LDS press conference, as well as any proposals for nondiscrimination ordinances that move forward in the Utah State Legislature.
