A monumental win for all of our dads
This was really the last big "legislative" hurdle for the LGBT movement. Bills like ENDA never gained enough traction in Congress, and while most states created protections of their own, there were still a significant number of them that permitted employers to fire employees solely on the basis of their sexual orientation.
Interesting to see Gorsuch pen the opinion on this one.

Damn you were in before I could start a post titled
Supreme Court Takes A Big Steaming Shit on Trump's Head

Other than in your mind how is this a shit on Trump's head? I get you are a TDS addled loser, but even for you that is a reach.
Trump has nothing to do with penning legislation and then voting on it. Nor does he have anything to do with the ultimate interpretation of it. Trump has also shown he has support for the gay community.
In that less than sophomoric head of yours, how is this a Trump issue? -
This is huge for those employees who want to suck some cock in the lunch room or during breaks. Massive win. No more fear of termination.

Was anyone arguing that gay men and women should be fired due to their sexuality? This has been a legislation only issue since I was in DC 20 years ago. Some states interpret the current law to mean men and women. Many have argued that it is up to congress to write the legislation protecting people from being fired due to their sexual preferences.GreenRiverGatorz said:https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-rules-gay-workers-protected-from-job-discrimination-in-big-win-for-lgbt-rights

All the court did was blend it all into the current law which is one way to tackle the issue. Just so everyone understands here, a majority Republican court ruled to include gay men and women to be covered under the current law.
Interesting in that one of the cases before the court was a white gay guy in Atlanta who was fired by black community workers for being openly gay.

I'm not aware of Trump opposing this at all.

Except for those gay couples looking to adopt. And the transgendered folks in the military. The list is actually quite extensive.Bendintheriver said:Other than in your mind how is this a shit on Trump's head? I get you are a TDS addled loser, but even for you that is a reach.

But as it relates to this specific issue, here's former AG Sessions outlining the admin's stance on transgendered employment rights:

See the Sessions memo above. Though that was three years ago, and I'm not convinced Trump himself ever actually gave a shit about the issue. Nonetheless, it's his administration.georgiaduck said:I'm not aware of Trump opposing this at all.

Only safe if same sex. Regular people get fired. Regular people don't have the same protections as the "special" people.PurpleThrobber said:This is huge for those employees who want to suck some cock in the lunch room or during breaks. Massive win. No more fear of termination.

@MontlakeBridgeTroll has severe TDS. It’s hilarious that a grown man acts this way. It’s inevitable, so just lay back and enjoy it.georgiaduck said:I'm not aware of Trump opposing this at all.
