On Jobs: Transgender workers protected from workplace discrimination

2020: "The Supreme Court ruled that a landmark civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination, handing the movement for LGBT equality a long-sought and unexpected victory. 'An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law,' Justice Neil M. Gorsuch wrote for the majority in the 6-to-3 ruling. The decision, the first major case on transgender rights, came amid widespread demonstrations, some protesting violence aimed at transgender people of color." [New York Times, 6/15/20]

Senator J.D. Vance lashed out at the 'conservative legal movement' after the Supreme Court ruled that gay and transgender employees should be protected from job discrimination. "The conservative legal movement has accomplished two things: libertarian political economy [enforced by judges] and betrayal of social conservatives and traditionalists,' Vance tweeted."
