The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a landmark civil rights law protects LGBT people from discrimination in employment, a resounding victory for LGBT rights from a conservative court.

The court decided by a 6-3 vote that a key provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 known as Title VII that bars job discrimination because of sex, among other reasons, encompasses bias against LGBT workers.

“An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the court. “Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.”

The only non protected class left in America is straight white males.

Were people being fired because of this? I'd bet more people are fired from posting on facebook than for being gay.

Well, you may not because you will either die of your white guilt soon or just being a bitch.

So, don't hire someone who looks gay or a "woman" with an adams apple? Got it.

I actually don't think that you should be fired just for being gay.

I don't think businesses should have to kowtow to transgender people either. We won't make special concessions for you but by all means live the way you want.

Seems like a reasonable approach by the SCOTUS

Gender and race are protected classes.

I don't either but now the problem is if you fire a gay person because of poor performance you will potentially have to prove that was the real reason in court. It's just more of the Government interfering with a private business.

So anyone who is gay or whatever letter of the alphabet they are can say it's discrimination when they feel like it? Sounds like a great plan.

In 30+ years of practicing employment law, I've never had an employer remotely suggest that the employer did not want to hire gay men and women.

In a retail store that pays commissions (not many are left), a gay male working cosmetics usually makes a solid income.

I imagine that doesn't happen very often, but this will be used any time an LGBT person is fired for any reason.

The ruling makes sense, it's practice will be used as a weapon.
