The Trump administration has filed a brief with the Supreme Court basically reminding the justices that it's totally legal to fire a employee for being gay
,” here it is: Three workers were fired from their jobs for being gay. They are taking these cases before the Supreme Court, but unfortunately, there are no federal laws to protect them so they’re like “well, what about this ruling that says you can’t discriminate against people on the basis of sex.” And the Trump administration is like, “No, that law is only to protect women from being discriminated against.
“Title VII’s prohibition on discrimination because of sex does not bar discrimination because of sexual orientation,” it reads in the brief. “The ordinary meaning of ‘sex’ is biologically male or female; it does not include sexual orientation.” Basically, the Trump administration is taking advantage of Ttitle VII’s language to reinforce and even legitimize an employers right to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ+ community.It also costs ALL of us. In the past year, taxpayers in three states have had to foot the bill for discrimination.
