Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court decision banning anti-LGBTQ+ employment discrimination, saying it violates their religious freedom.
It names as defendant the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal government agency that has issued guidance on how employers should follow the provisions of Bostock.
U.S. District Judge Reed C. O’Connor, one of the most conservative federal jurists in the nation, ruled in January that the suit could go forward.The Bostock ruling, issued last June, held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in banning employment discrimination based on sex, also bans such discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
