Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Breaking: Justices rule LGBT (Yes Trans too) people protected from job discrimination [ link to apnews.com (secure)] "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..." Look I'm pretty liberal when it comes to LGB (not LGBT) rights. Trans is a gender identity issue-- many thought to be an untreated mental disease. So if you are a business owner and you just hired your new male car salesman, and he/she walks in the next day in a skirt, panty hose and makeup.. and the salesperson seemingly cant perform well-- well I guess you'll be stuck from firing that person for a long time. Just saying... Last Edited by MaximusRex on 06/15/2020 10:41 AM |

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Breaking: Justices rule LGBT (Yes Trans too) people protected from job discrimination "The Supreme Court cases involved two gay men and a transgender woman who sued for employment discrimination after they lost their jobs.
The federal appeals court in New York ruled in favor of a gay skydiving instructor who claimed he was fired because of his sexual orientation. The full 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 10-3 that it was abandoning its earlier holding that Title VII didn’t cover sexual orientation because “legal doctrine evolves.” The court held that “sexual orientation discrimination is motivated, at least in part, by sex and is thus a subset of sex discrimination.” |
