Since the 2015 Obergefell decision, LGBT legal issues have run the gamut from the actual enforcement of marriage equality to religious freedom challenges to trans rights in the public schools to bans on conversion therapy—at least according to major media accounts. This panel seeks to gauge the current interests of scholars as to the most pressing post-marriage-equality issues and how those issues stand in the wake of Obergefell. Is Obergefell’s reach felt throughout the range of current litigation, or is it proving to be more limited, or perhaps even a hindrance?
