The Supreme Court will consider whether a federal civil rights law barring workplace discrimination on the basis of sex provides protections for gay and transgender employees.
The court on Monday said it would take up a trio of cases involving Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. Two of the cases raise the question of whether Title VII prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, while the third centers on whether the law bars discrimination based on gender identity.
Should be a very easy case......current laws do not apply to gays and trans

It's insane it even has to go before the court

They seem like 2 completely different groups.
The law was written for one group, members of which are in that group by birth.
The 2nd group, members of which are in it by choice, wants the law to apply to them too.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Zarda in its ruling and said, “Sexual orientation discrimination is motivated, at least in part, by sex and is thus a subset of sex discrimination for purposes of Title VII.”
Sexual orientation has nothing to do with biological sex.
quote:
Bostock, however, argued that upon learning of his sexual orientation and participation in the gay recreational softball league, the county falsely claimed he mismanaged public money “as a pretext for terminating his employment because of his sexual orientation.”
If the County could sufficiently prove he was fired with cause for mismanaging public funds I'm not sure why it would matter, but the 11th Circuit agreed with the County that sexual orientation is not protected.
quote:
Stephens filed a discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in September 2013 and said she had been fired because of sex and gender identity in violation of Title VII.
A federal district court sided with R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes. But the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the business violated the law when it fired Stephens and found that “discrimination on the basis of transgender … status violates Title VII.”
I think this would apply, since "transgender" really refers to the outward expression of sexual identity.

this is a no brainer -- protection them, they are humans just like the rest of us

The melt will be fun if they rule it doesn’t protect them.
Newly minted Cuck Supreme ruler Roberts will probably frick it up

Who is more likely to betray Christians - Roberts or Kavanaugh?

If a person of one sex can choose to identify as the opposite sex, then anybody can identify as anything they choose for whatever reason.
It's laughable that the SCOTUS is even hearing these arguments. "Gender identity" isn't a thing. It's a mental illness.

well that's an easy decision. The dems have made it clear that sex and gender are different things. The law does not address gender.

So they are thinking about making us hire mentally ill people who are children of the devil?

Agree that orientation and gender identity are separate categories from sex - the whole concept of LGBT depends on that.
But it's not a slam dunk in all situations. For example, if someone is fired after transitioning, they have a sex discrimination argument. It's the same person, and they were good enough as a man but not good enough as a woman.
