Discuss and highlight how the inability for members of the LGBTQIA population to legally marry caused harm to both Ruth and Janice and continued to discriminate against this population.

Initial Post The Case of Ruth and Janice, case study 8-1 in the LeCroy text, offers a snapshot of how circumstances can change a life in an instant.
