Supreme Court says federal law protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination

The landmark ruling will extend protections to millions of workers nationwide and is a defeat for the Trump administration, which argued that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that bars discrimination based on sex did not extend to claims of gender identity and sexual orientation.The 6-3 opinion was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's four liberal justices. "Ours is a society of written laws.

Judges are not free to overlook plain statutory commands on the strength of nothing more than suppositions about intentions or guesswork about expectations," Gorsuch, one of the court's conservatives, wrote in the majority opinion."In Title VII, Congress adopted broad language making it illegal for an employer to rely on an employee's sex when deciding to fire that employee.

Mean while the LGBT community is firing those that are conservative who vote for Trump or won't even talk against him in a negative way.

So a few decent republicans do exist,I wonder if nessie is real!

Let’s all thank trump for that equlity Trump2020

Great, just don't say anything and just fired the individual, pay the unemployment portion required by state, don't fight case, done.

what about also protecting workers for being discriminated over their beliefs!!!

This is donlemon right now.

The US of A is going down the 💩tter.

Great! Now let’s protect conservatives!

This is messed up. The BLM movement and now this. My God, what's next?

Yet it's no Federal law protecting straight white males from discrimination... 'white privilege'I guess

It’s good to know they were capable of landmark and historical decisions in 1964. Good to know Americans are still capable of celebrating history even if they are trying to steal the glory of it. Good job, 1964! I’m glad we aren’t rewriting everything.

duh and or obviously why wouldnt it? isnt the supreme courts time not better spent on more prevalent matters?

Can we all start kneeling when the rainbow flag is flown?

Why don’t you report How dangerous it is for these rallies and protests to go on when we are dealing with a virus you will not even report that -anything that will help your benefit cause for the Democrats at the expense of the American people the media is truly anti-American

a 6-3 decision... what were the other 3 thinking 🤔🤔🤔

Trump Administration Revokes Trans Health Care Protections two days ago. We may be celebrating the landmark LGBTQ victory today prohibiting workplace discrimination, BUT remember TWO days ago Trump took away LGBTQ TRANS HEALTHCARE in workplaces

Good decision, but what about the three Supreme Bigots?

FINALLY, some fucking good piece of news. 🙌

THANKS TO OBAMA! AND ALL THE JUSTICES, NO MORE DISCRIMINATION!!!👋👋👋PATHTOGREATNESSBIDEN

Thanks to Trump! Who appointed Gorsuch! 💪🏽❤️

HAPPYPRIDEMONTH2020 ☺️🌈👏🏻

So if hiring discrimination is now upheld based on sex, orientation and race. Why is it OK for Biden to say he only wants a black woman as VP? What about black men, transgenders or white women or men? Couldn’t he be sued for this?

I really don’t understand what they are arguing. Seems like you cannot discriminate on sex is you cannot discriminate on sex but now it is more granular. Kinda like a hate crime murder vs murder. Silly IMO.

Happy Pride!

This is bull shit!!!

What a great ruling, and to think it happened during June’s Black Lives Matter Month! BlackLivesMatter glaad psst... intersectionality has hijacked PrideMonth ! Now the LGBT community knows what it feels like to be canceled by the left.

Not one pundit would've guessed that John Roberts who has some shit votes, would continually be a leftie tie breaker against so many conservative cases

Yay

😭😭

Good for them love is love ❤️

The problem IS.. the fact we need a US Supreme Court ruling for this!!! We really don’t need a ruling just don’t freaking discriminate.. Period!!! basketballmom02 Jerri_Lynn25 houstonjeh67 BIGIRVSATX1 mhouston0 ytalexandres

finally some good news! this is awesome!❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

DISGUSTING!!!

JeffreyToobin 'federal law protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination' EXACTLY. That's why it's not necessary to add extra protections in ACA/Obamacare. The text changes say exactly that. They're already protected by congress & constitution.

JeffreyToobin Workplace standards that apply to everyone also apply to queers. If you dont fit in it... buh bye.

JeffreyToobin not that it's happened before, but it's now illegal!

JeffreyToobin This is great! But how about a federal law that protects black people from unjustly being killed by the police? Or a law against systemic racism that persists today? This law unfortunately won’t extend to the black LGBT community but hey hoe.. black lives don’t matter right?

JeffreyToobin Of course LGBTQ people should be covered by discrimination laws. It would've been discrimination against them if they had been excluded.

JeffreyToobin Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh, all nasty men.

Why defeat?

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

JeffreyToobin This is CNN -

We can all thank the people in the streets for putting pressure on our government to do the right thing.

JeffreyToobin Fun fact about Toobin. He got his friends daughter pregnant (while he was married), and then tried to bully her into having an abortion. He refused to pay child support. he refused to see the baby. He's a piece of shit.

Jesus_coming_soon_as_soon_as_you_THINK🙏🏻

backwards. Congress has more important things to do than to trace over laws that have existed for more than 40+ years.

kiandymundi ah yes now if the boss fires a woman because for example she is not performing well enough she will accuse him of sexism and the boss gets in trouble with the supreme court :D , smh America

This is good news they are extending protection for LGBTQ people in the workplace I often as ordinary person has had to deal with discrimination this is a positive step in creating more inclusive workplace

Was it really necessary? Sigh

cnn lies every day of the week..

Now lets make it illegal to strip this community of healthcare just bc the happen to be transgender. Still discrimination.

The 6-3 opinion was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts as well as the court's four liberal justices.

Expect a nasty tweet from PUNKOTUS directed at Neil Gorsuch.

It’s not a “defeat for the trump administration.” Cnn is absolutely wrong again

Finally something good in 2020

Landmark? That this crap even needs to be said and done in 2020 is ridiculous. Geezus man...we need laws for stupid people to not do stupid things. LET PEOPLE LIVE THEIR OWN LIVES.

But I thought having a conservative leaning court meant gays and women were going to lose all rights? It’s almost like we have a court that is functioning properly without activism from the bench..

Waits for Trumps Law and Order tweet in support 😂

Despite your efforts Mr. President, we will prevail!

I’m confused. You told me Gorsuch hated gay people and was a staunch conservative who always favored the far right
