LGBTQ+ Discrimination

Full Video Transcript

In 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruled in Bostock v. Clayton County that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is illegal sex discrimination. This ruling means it is illegal for your employer to treat you differently or to fire you on the basis of your sexual orientation or gender identity. It also means that landlords cannot discriminate against you due to your sexual orientation or gender identity. But discrimination remains, and there are questions that the ruling did not answer. Questions remain over transgender individuals’ ability to access the bathroom and locker room facilities of their choice. Schools across the country are still making it hard on transgender students’ ability to use the bathroom and join school sports teams. And religious exemptions still make it possible for some organizations and businesses to discriminate. If you have been discriminated against because of your sexual orientation or gender identity, get the legal help you need by visiting LawInfo.com.
