2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County. “Fear of discrimination can lead individuals to forgo care, which can have serious negative health consequences.
It is the position of the Department of Health and Human Services that everyone — including LGBTQ people — should be able to access health care, free from discrimination or interference, period.”SCOTUS ruled in Bostock that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which banned employment discrimination based on "sex," applied to bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
But after the June 2020 ruling, Trump administration officials resisted applying it to venues other than employment and also put out rules declaring "sex" only applied to gender assigned at birth, not gender.
