LGBT+ rights groups are asking the US attorney general to start enforcing the Supreme Court’s decision protecting LGBT+ employees from discrimination.
They say the Department of Justice should get federal agencies to remove guidance that doesn’t reflect the justices’ ruling.
That could apply to many more areas than just employment rights. And it could undermine Trump’s own rollbacks of LGBT+ rights.
The historic victory on 15 June saw the US Supreme Court rule that federal anti-discrimination law protects LGBT+ workers. The court’s logic was that it was impossible to discriminate against a person’s sexuality or gender identity without that discrimination being based on sex.
