Bill Moore has been honored by the U.S. Department of Labor for his efforts in continuing his late-husband’s employment discrimination lawsuit that eventually resulted in a Supreme Court ruling protecting LGBTQ employment rights.
Haskell native William Moore spent 10 years learning how to navigate the court system in a fight for workplace protections for the LGBTQ community.
That fight ended at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020 with a 6-3 ruling that discrimination based on gender identity or on sexual orientation is unconstitutional.
This year in Oct. 18, the U.S. Department of Labor inducted Moore into its Hall of Fame in Washington D.C. to celebrate his contributions to LGBTQ labor rights.
