On October 8 the Supreme Court Will Decide on Protections for LGBTQ Employees
On October 8th, the Supreme Court of the United States will decide if Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 will protect the rights of LGBTQ individuals against workplace discrimination. Title VII prevents discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex; however, the current question is whether this law prevents discrimination against a worker based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. If the Supreme Court decides that the protections against ‘sex discrimination’ within Title VII does not include protections against sexual orientation or gender identity discrimination, employers will be able to fire LGBTQ employees simply because they identify as LGBTQ.
