Supreme Court to take up LGBT job discrimination cases

FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2018 file photo, the U.S. Supreme Court is seen at sunset in Washington. The Supreme Court will decide whether the main federal civil rights law that prohibits employment discrimination applies to LGBT people. The justices say Monday they will hear cases involving people who claim they were fired because of their sexual orientation.

The justices say Monday they will hear cases involving people who claim they were fired because of their sexual orientation. Another case involves a funeral home employee who was fired after disclosing that she was transitioning from male to female and dressed as a woman. The issue is whether Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, protects LGBT people from job discrimination. Title VII does not specifically mention sexual orientation or transgender status, but federal appeals courts in Chicago and New York have ruled recently that gay and lesbian employees are entitled to protection from discrimination. The federal appeals court in Cincinnati has extended similar protections for transgender people.

The Obama administration had supported treating LGBT discrimination claims as sex discrimination, but the Trump administration has changed course. The Trump Justice Department has argued that Title VII was not intended to provide protections to gay or transgender workers. The administration also separately withdrew Obama-era guidance to educators to treat claims of transgender students as sex discrimination.The justices will take up three cases in the fall.

Here’s an idea everyone. It may sound “extreme” but hear me out. LETS NOT DISCRIMINATE! I know it’s hard to understand since many Americans are taught to discriminate by their ignorant parents, but let’s try it shall we

Damn so discrimination cases next? What about discrimination in the military? I have questions.

Hate could rule supreme if they say any discrimination is ok on any human by another.

I want my case to be heard too! I dress up as the Batman and nobody takes me serious! THAT IS DISCRIMINATION!

If I had cash for each time a LGBT co-worker found out I was Christian & began making up crap to spread it around the office & even snarky ass insults to my face or in earshot I'd be wealthy... But just as messed up in the head & miserable in the soul as they are.

sbauerAP U like the mofo Moscow mule Johnson. Or walker. Nice picture of walker with Maria butina tho. Baubles Bauer

Oof, they really trying to hammer through as many right wing rulings as possible before Trump's nazi regime crumbles. With Beer Boy being there, its quite obvious how those rulings will end.

Good Luck LGBT Community. We are all Human beings. I will bring Pasta salad to the LGBT BBQ.

We don't have the data it's a privacy violation

LGBT will lose.

We know how this will end

I'm worried about this one......while it should be clear as day that work place discrimination based on sexual orientation is a crime the current SCOTUS make up is compromised.

Somebody must have used the wrong pronoun.

If you don't hire them, you wouldn't have this problem....

I'm mexican and i don't like the preference you are giving a group just to not upset far leftist. I'm an Obama Democrat- a centrist. India’s SC same rule on Hindu temples have fallen on deaf ears. It took a right-wing Hindu government to fix all the political correctness bullshit from 3 decades of Liberal governance. It's time to stop pleasing the minority and apply the same standards to them as the majority of the country.
