 WGS professor [Michael Bronski](/people/michael-bronski) was featured in today's *[Harvard Gazette](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/harvard-experts-call-ruling-on-lgbt-rights-a-landmark/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Gazette%2020200617%20(1))*, where he weighed in on the Supreme Court's recent ruling to protect gay and transgender workers. Bronski, a longtime LGBT activist, calls the ruling "extraordinary" in terms of scope. “I would say it’s a bigger decision than Obergefell v. Hodges \[which legalized same-sex marriage in 2015\]. That was a nondiscrimination decision that affected a specific group of people, those who wanted to get married. Whereas this is a nondiscrimination decision that affects 9 million people.” The article also featured long-time WGS affiliate [Timothy Patrick McCarthy](https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/timothy-patrick-mccarthy) of the Harvard Kennedy School.

 Michael Bronski is Professor of the Practice in Media and Activism in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality. He has been involved with LGBT politics since 1969 as an activist, organizer, writer, publisher, editor, and independent scholar.
