Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans began holding our collective breath in apprehension back in October 8, 2019, when the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) heard oral arguments in three cases — R.G. & G.R.
Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (more simply, the “Aimee Stephens” case), Altitude Express, Inc.
v. Zarda, and Bostock v. Clayton County (that’s Clayton County, Georgia) — seeking to clarify whether we are protected from workplace discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
We had good reason to worry. Since the Obergefell ruling on marriage equality, just a few years ago, the Court has moved further to the left with President Trump’s two nominees.
