Supreme Court Rules for Gay and Transgender Rights in the Workplace

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court ruled that bedrock federal civil-rights law prohibits employers from discriminating against workers on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity, a decision that for the first time extends federal workplace protections to LGBT employees nationwide.

The high court, in a landmark 6-3 decision, said the broad language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlaws workplace discrimination on the basis of sex, should be read to cover sexual orientation as well. Conservative Justice Neil...

Dude! You are not ready to fly! Go commercial!

that’s cool- we’ve got tons of excuses for firing peeps. My fave is to get the other peeps to work in a more slave like manor for the sole benefit of the wealthy enterprise owners.

Well after today’s abominable court decision, employers will be defying the law for barring any penis wielding man that ‘identifies as a woman’ from changing in a women’s locker room. When did the tiniest minority of a country become more important than the 50% of women here?

since no one does that...guess it doesn't really matter does it?

Endless solution..

How about if they are conservative or a Trump supporter?

If SCOTUS can change the meaning of one word by whimsy- they can change the meaning of anything and the court risks its legitimacy and nobody is safe from activist tyranny. The Alito dissent rips the mask off of the six activists in this travesty

Got any statistical data as to how many homosexuals and the like are regularly fired from their jobs for being queer.... juxtaposed to how many conservative, Christian, White heterosexual males are fired because of “inappropriate” social media posts? I do.

Now, it would be alright to fire anyone that is Conservative or supporter or President Trump. No problem doing that.

How about for being a Conservative or having an opinion anyone anywhere is claiming is offensive?

an employer who fires an individual for being blonde or brunette defies the law

That's why you don't given them a contract and hire them as an 'at-will' employee. That way, the employer can fire them without having legal repercussions.

Honestly I thought this was the law already. Good ruling.

Problem is, it won't end with 'merely'

Supreme Court said... GAY RIGHTS!

from a spiritual standpoint, the life style choice is a contradiction..... from a constitutional standpoint..... the correct decision......?

oooooooooooo the Chrisitan fundamentalists aren't going to like this -- that's why they worked so hard to get someone elected who would destroy the rule of law and give a pass to racism, and sexism......

Conservatives pounce. Oh, wait, what? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Unless that person is a white, Christian, cisgendered, heterosexual male, then fire away.

Happy Pride Month!

This. Doesn’t. Happen. - STOP

It would be silly to fire someone for who they have sex with. That said, why would anyone know for sure.

ويقولك حضارة الغرب .. هيا تفضّل !!

العن ام القوانين الكلبية. ياخي شي مقزز بدرجة!
