The Missouri Supreme Court extended legal protections Tuesday to LGBTQ people in two separate rulings. , the court affirmed that Missouri law prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of a worker’s failure to conform to sex-based stereotypes. An employee who is discriminated against because of how they are expected to act has a legal basis to file a legal action, the court ruled.
The ruling came in the action brought by Harold Lampley and Rene Frost against the Missouri Commission on Human Rights. Lampley argued that because he is gay and did not conform to the stereotypical expectations of how a male should behave, he was harassed at his place of employment, the Missouri Department of Social Services’ Child Support Enforcement Division.
“By recognizing that Missouri's prohibition on sex discrimination applies to all Missourians, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation, this ruling reaffirms what our legislature declared in the Missouri Human Rights Act,” Alexander Edelman, R.M.A.’s attorney, said in a statement to NBC News.
“Members of the LGBTQ community should enjoy the same protections against sex-based discrimination as everyone else,” Tony Rothert, legal director for the ACLU of Missouri, said. “Excluding LGBTQ individuals from legal protections was justified by outdated, destructive stereotypes and ignored the lived reality of thousands of people in our state.”

Supreme Court will look at whether a cross is promotion of religion or war memorialThe Supreme Court, long divided on the role of religion, is set to decide whether a 40-foot Latin cross in Maryland is an unconstitutional official endorsement of Christianity or a historic memorial for local soldiers who died in World War I. How can an agreed upon religious symbol memorialize people who did not believe in or agree with that symbol. It's as insulting as Mormons 'saving' dead people by declaring them Mormons in the afterlife. Magical Thinking is Magical Thinking is MAGICAL THINKING. What's next changing all the crosses in Normandy? Its been there a hundred years and no issues. Get over yourselves. Next war? Don't put religious symbols then. Mt Soledad reboot...

Supreme Court suggests memorial cross does not violate separation of church and stateA majority of the Supreme Court suggested Wednesday that a 40-foot cross on public land in Maryland that was built to honor fallen soldiers in World War I does not violate the separation of church and state, but the justices struggled to settle on a rationale that lower courts could apply to other religious symbols on public lands. Boo The cross is a pagan symbol. So, you're good to go . . . Everyone’s a god damn snow flake.
