Title VII

Aimee Stephens came out as a transgender woman and announced her decision to medically transition at the same time I was preparing for my own transition. That isn’t our only similarity.

If the court rules against LGBTQ rights, trans people who live outside of cities and states with inclusive nondiscrimination laws will need legal umbrellas. Here is one that some, though not all, might be able to use.

If an employer would fire both gay men and lesbians, the Trump administration says that’s not discrimination, it’s perfectly legal.

One of the men, a waiter, is gay; the other, a busser, is a straight friend of the waiter.

The deal now says that protections for federal employees are enough so the US has already met the standard.

The Department of Justice said that it’s perfectly legal to discriminate against transgender people… but it wants the court to say it’s OK to discriminate against gay people first.

Since before he even got to the White House, Trump has been attacking transgender people

LGBTQ people are racially diverse with one-third of the LGBTQ community made up of people of color.

The states join virulent anti-LGBTQ religious right groups, including Roy Moore’s, to argue that federal law shouldn’t protect trans workers.

With one ruling, the court could decide that LGBTQ Americans are protected from discrimination nationwide.
