But the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Shannon Minter, National Center for Lesbian Rights\"]‘The fact that this court, a very conservative court, referred to Aimee Stephens as a woman, as ‘she’ with no hesitation, and talked about her decision to transition very sympathetically, that should send a huge signal to our whole country.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shannon Minter, legal director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights, called the ruling a “body blow” to the Trump administration’s policies towards LGBTQ people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a stern rebuke… to the legal theories the administration has been relying on not only in the Title VII case but in health care, education and housing,” Minter said. “And it’s extraordinary that that rebuke came from one of the most highly regarded conservative justices in contemporary history, and that is Justice Gorsuch who wrote the opinion today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Group of Cases\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The court’s decision came in several cases brought by gay and transgender employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerald Bostock was the child welfare coordinator for Clayton County, Ga.

Up until then, he said, his job evaluations had been excellent, and under his guidance, the county “reached the benchmark of serving 100 percent of the children in foster care, which was an unheard of milestone in any metro Atlanta program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that seemed to matter, however, when word got out that he had joined the gay softball league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I lost my livelihood.

But I couldn’t do it,” she told NPR last October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead she decided to come out at work as a transgender woman, telling her colleagues and her employer of her decision in a letter. But two weeks after giving the letter to her boss, she was fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephens \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/12/854946825/aimee-stephens-transgender-woman-at-center-of-major-civil-rights-case-dies-at-59\">died earlier this year\u003c/a>, but her case lived on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Rost, the owner of the Harris Funeral Home, who fired Stephens, explained his decision as one necessitated by the reaction he anticipated from “the families we serve. How would they possibly react to this?” he said, noting that Stephens was “the face of the Harris Funeral Home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court, however, seemed to have far less of a problem with Stephens’ gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Center for Lesbian Rights’ Shannon Minter applauded the court’s unflinching use of Stephens’ preferred pronouns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that this court, a very conservative court, referred to Aimee Stephens as a woman, as ‘she’ with no hesitation, and talked about her decision to transition very sympathetically, that should send a huge signal to our whole country and to other federal courts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement following Monday’s ruling, the director of the San Francisco LGBT Center heralded the court’s decision as historic, but emphasized there’s much more to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the midst of a global pandemic, the continued murders of Black transgender women, and the administration’s efforts to roll back protections for transgender people in health care, this decision is especially encouraging,” said Rebecca Rolfe, executive director at the SF LGBT Center. “But we also must remember that until our laws remedy systemic racism and inequality, our movement’s pursuit of LGBTQ+ equality is far from done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED’s Alice Woelfle and David Marks.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

During its 55-year existence in San Francisco – the bar was formerly located on Folsom Street – it has survived the AIDS epidemic, two tech booms and a tripled rent hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the coronavirus pandemic, the 17-member collective that owns the bar faced what co-owner Marke Bieschke called a \"\u003ca href=\"https://48hills.org/2020/05/the-stud-closes-its-location-in-order-to-save-itself-for-the-future/\">desperate situation\u003c/a>\" felt by many small bars in the city that aren't getting a suspension or any breaks on rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the bar’s co-owners are determined to reopen at a new location as soon as possible.

Even as the state moves toward easing restrictions, the reality is that it’ll be a long time before many businesses can reopen at full capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"State Sen.

Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, and Lena Gonzalez, D-Long Beach, who amended it last week with the aim of helping struggling businesses like The Stud by allowing commercial tenants to use their current income as a basis for negotiating reduced rent with their landlords. Under the bill, businesses like bars and restaurants could renegotiate their lease if they've lost over 40% of their revenue due to COVID-19 restrictions — and if they have to operate at reduced capacity because of social distancing requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiation process would be formalized into a 30-day period requiring at least two meetings between landlords and tenants. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, tenants could then choose to terminate their lease without a penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Although there are landlords doing the right thing, there are others who are not,\" Wiener said in a press briefing Thursday. \"And what this means is that these businesses will fold and the owners will potentially be driven into bankruptcy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11820145\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11820145\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/1920_Stud_Cash-e1590125600476.jpg\" alt=\"Militia Towers takes to the Black Fridays stage at The Stud on Sept. 22, 2017.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Militia Towers takes to the Black Fridays stage at The Stud on Sept. 22, 2017. \u003ccite>(Audrey Garces/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wiener hopes the bill, scheduled for a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday, will help curb mass closures of restaurants, cafes and bars in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the legislation is especially important for LGBTQ spaces like The Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are community spaces,” Wiener said. “These are places where we find our community, where so many generations of LGBTQ people have gone to nightlife venues to find their community, to understand that they're not alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stud was forced to close its doors under shelter-in-place orders beginning in mid-March, and wasn’t permitted to offer cocktails-to-go as the venue doesn't have a kitchen.

It is able to do what bigger cities can’t, focus on the LGBTQ residents by providing services, support and events. The city is known for its gay-centric focus.

It started the first registry of domestic partners, offers health services and has a HIV zero campaign to stop the transmission of the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was founded to be an LGBT haven,” Gates said. “It is unique among LGBT enclaves”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before it became a city, the 1.9 square-mile area was unincorporated and had been home to mobsters who served alcohol during the Prohibition, the first movie studio and, eventually, gay nightlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1984 it was incorporated as West Hollywood, home to more than 37,000 residents, many of them gay. It continues to be a beacon for LGBTQ folks, though it is much more expensive to move in than when D’Amico or councilwoman Lauren Meister arrived decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want to be here either to live or to work,” said Meister, who is not LGBTQ. “We have that edge. But I think it’s changing, and it’s changing partly because of the housing; and I think it’s also changing partly because of acceptance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For West Hollywood, where gay couples, who can now marry and have families, may be leaving for more suburban environs and some seniors may be retiring elsewhere there are still many aging gay residents who plan to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is creating a new moment in the city, said D’Amico.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'We Got You'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t lost our identify as an LGBTQ center for Los Angeles,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
