Topic 3 | Fairness for all

“Fairness for all” is a principled approach for seeking the mutual vindication of multiple important rights and interests, such as religious freedom and nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). The basic idea is that, before attempting to balance or trade off rights against one another, we should look for ways to simultaneously expand protections for rights that are, or seem to be, in conflict, or to limit each in narrow and principled ways.
