On this week’s episode of The FORBcast, we have an interview with Tanner Bean, a lawyer in Idaho and Utah. We discuss his special focuses such as nondiscrimination in the workplace and the intersection of LGBTQIA+ rights with freedom of religion or belief. Tanner breaks down why he’s called on lawmakers to strongly support the Freedom for All Act and why it would be the best step forward for the United States.
Tanner is an associate at Fabian VanCott with particular focus on the intersecting areas of religious and LGBTQIA+ discrimination found in workplaces, housing, public accommodations, and education. He graduated with honors from Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School, where he served as President of the Trial Advocacy Team, Symposium Editor of the BYU Law Review, and Research Fellow and Student Management Board Member of the International Center for Law and Religion Studies. Currently, Tanner serves as the Secretary for the Labor & Employment Section of the Utah Bar, a member of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society’s Religious Freedom Committee, and is the founder of the Workplace Religious Accommodations Database (WRAD) Pro Bono Project. Apart from his law practice, Tanner balances his affinity for the outdoors with his love of ice cream. Read Tanner’s articles and learn more about his work at the links below:
