On Wednesday, the Supreme Court hears arguments in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, a challenge to the city's enforcement of its nondiscrimination ordinance in its contracts with foster care agencies. The city was sued by Catholic Social Services, which argues that it has a First Amendment right to discriminate against same-sex couples while fulfilling a government contract. In this episode, we hear from Mary Catherine Roper, deputy legal director of the ACLU of PA, about the legal issues in this case and from Samantha Hutcherson Bannon and Greg Yorgey-Girdey of Philadelphia Family Pride, who talk about their families and why it's so important for them to be part of this case.
