Title VII

Gerald Bostock was abruptly fired six months after he joined a gay softball league.

Despite his ruling, the matter is far from settled.

“Someone’s gender or whom they love has no place in employment decisions.”

When Jebriel Teague complained about his co-workers’ use of gay slurs and the n-word, his supervisors told him to ignore it and then cut his hours.

Gerald Bostock’s former boss accused him of visiting “former boyfriends — because he is gay” with work funds in firing him. Now he’s asking a court to rule in his favor.

Anti-LGBTQ extremist judge Reed O’Connor has a history of trying to undermine federal anti-discrimination laws.

Led by Tennessee, the coalition says that President Joe Biden’s administration can’t tell them they have to treat trans people equally.

Gavin Grimm has been fighting a court case against trans discrimination at his school for years. The school district finally gave up.

They argue that Joe Biden’s LGBTQ measures will “sow confusion” and “harm the rule of law.” They also really want to misgender trans people.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said that sex-based protections include LGBTQ people now that Joe Biden is in office.

“Not only is this the law of the land, it’s his own deeply held view.”

“All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.”

While 2020 certainly doesn’t feel like a year of wins, the LGBTQ community did in fact experience some victories worth celebrating.

The Trump administration has repeatedly singled out transgender people for attack, but one of the most egregious has been blocked by a federal judge at the 11th hour.

The pro-discrimination rule means the Trump administration “demonstrated animus towards transgender persons, continuing a pervasive pattern.”

This man was allegedly fired for being gay four days after the Supreme Court said that’s illegal.

Doctors and EMTs could refuse to help transgender people if they claim it would “compromise their faith.”

As we celebrate this victory, it’s also a chance for us to dream – bigger than we’ve ever dreamed of before – about the world we want to create for generations of LGBTQ people to come.

The state argued they have a right to discriminate against transgender people. A judge said no.

The Department says that the protections aren’t necessary… but that’s not what other Trump administration officials have been saying.
