Transgender Law: Family Building

For discrimination involving SNAP benefits

US Supreme Court says the City of Philadelphia cannot prohibit Catholic Social Services from participating in its foster care program, even though CSS discriminates against same sex foster parents. This is because Philidelphia has an individualized exemption process, but refused to give one to CSS.

Statement must read "In accordance with federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity."
