.ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT: Supreme Court issues historic ruling saying federal employment discrimination laws protect LGBTQ employees: 'It is hard to overstate the significance of this.'

Helpful information about the highest court in the United States.Monday on a historic case about LGBT employment discrimination, with the majority deciding that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, also applies to gay or transgender people.

It was a 6-3 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the more liberal side of the court -- Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer. Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion, while Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas dissented."Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result," Gorsuch wrote.

"But," he continued,"the limits of the drafters' imagination supply no reason to ignore the law's demands. When the express terms of a statute give us one answer and extratextual considerations suggest another, it's no contest. Only the written word is the law, and all persons are entitled to its benefit."and concerned three cases involving individuals who say they were fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Happy the 2 conservative judges were able to identify that there is clearly a right and a wrong side to this issue and made the right ruling PRIDE

Oh yeah but let’s keep hating on the Court for being “right-leaning”. 🤡 😂

The devil is happy today.

Racism is outward discrimination sexism is private inward sex is a private matter unless you are exploiting sex for personal gains iand attention . One wouldn’t know ones sexual preference. One knows what race you are , institutional racism kills generation after generation .

Supporting aberrations 👎🏽

Why is fake KELLY RIPA pretending to be quarantining in NY while she's enjoying the Caribbean?

Does this include religious institutions?

NEIL GORSUCH?!

Trumps Having A Fit right now . Awesome 🖕

Some good news in the middle of chaos.

Why do they have to talk about their sex life to begin with?

Thoughts and prayers to the White House staffer who has to tell Trump that Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch voted with the liberals to give LGBTQ folks equal rights.

Oh wow the hateful people are going to be upset. OH well

Now when they fire them for being a lazy worker, this gives the freaks an excuse to sue. This is such BS.

TerryMoran Now let’s do political ideology.

TerryMoran Racism and discrimination are destroying the societies...

TerryMoran LGBTQ+ RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

TerryMoran This ruling is because Trump TRIED to make it legal to fire because of LGBT ?

TerryMoran Trump is likely fuming that he can't fire Gorsuch.

TerryMoran It's amazing and gross that the SCOTUS has to clarify that it's illegal to discriminate again tax paying, law abiding citizens of this country.

TerryMoran Translation: ALL human beings get to have Civil Rights. Seems like a pretty good idea to me.

TerryMoran 6-3 6 - 3 !!!
