In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled that LGBT workers are protected from workplace discrimination under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The Civil Rights Act already prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex. Social conservatives tried to argue that Congress couldn’t have foreseen the definition of the word sex to evolve to encompass an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Fox News reports:
“Ours is a society of written laws. Judges are not free to overlook plain statutory commands on the strength of nothing more than suppositions about intentions or guesswork about expectations. In Title VII, Congress adopted broad language making it illegal for an employer to rely on an employee’s sex when deciding to fire that employee,” said the court’s opinion, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch.
“We do not hesitate to recognize today a necessary consequence of that legislative choice: An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law.”

Hooray for the Supreme Court decision! We are all Americans who live under the rule of law and this covers all men and women regardless of how you see yourself or a specific lifestyle. There should never be any decision toward “special interests” regardless of race or lifestyle status.

Can you biologically prove a man is a woman or vice versa? Or that biologically there are more than two sexes but somehow over the course of 2 million years mankind missed the third until now? The Book of Genesis informs us that our Creator created a Man and a Woman. Nowhere was there any mention of a physical transformation of a man into a woman Anyone who has a penis and has a notion that he is a woman is at the very least confused and in need of pyschological consuling. Of course if you graduated from university during the past two decades it’s understandable if you think otherwise.
I won’t comment because I seem to have been banished to the category of “your comment is awaiting moderation” where it will languish forever.
you too huh?
I think they just HATE other peoples opinions.
Me too
Maybe we can start a movement.
Apparently free speech is different on different sites.
Gene Ralno,
You too eh? These are the “word police” that are terrified our comments (or the TRUTH) will offend someone. The first amendment is dead on these pages.
It is my business I should be able to fire who ever I want.
If the supreme court JUST US’s don’t like the way WE run OUR BUSINESSES, they can make an offer…
OR, mind their own business.
They prefer to mind everyone’s business. Remember, “you didn’t build that.”
Right.
However if they are a bad employee with cause, you should have no problem. If they pull out the race, sex, gender card – well so sorry.
Gorsuch and Roberts will have to face God one day and will have to explain their evil and wicked demonic decisions!
It is reminiscent of what the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts did 15 years ago when it had neither statutory language nor legislative history to go on. It legislated from the bench. While I wouldn’t decry the results under an equal protection argument, I would like to remind the judiciary that it is neither the arbiter of taste nor morality. Certainly, what the Court did Congress could have done and perhaps should have done, but it didn’t. From my perspective, under our Constitution, this is a usurpation of an Article I power. I would like to also remind the Court that the words sex and gender are not the same. Sex is biological, gender is grammatical.
Easy solution, DON’T hire queers and trannies in the FIRST PLACE!
Filthy tribe swill love their LGBTQPRs. And their baby butchers. And they wonder “Why Auschwitz?” They EARNED it!!!
Yes….Wonder, what these PERVERT justic’s will say, when an homosexual or an LGBT pervert will apply for the post of Asst. Pastor, for my Church & will be told, this is against the principle’s of My Church?……Give me a Break…..This is all the FRUIT OF SIN…..Just Shameless….. Why arn’t we on the street, to STONE THESE BLACK ROBE DEVILS…?
Decline and Fall! We get to see it in real time.
There is nothing to get in a huff about. This is simply stating what already exists in Law for other categories. You can still fire an LBGTQXYZ123 if needed. Just not simply on that basis alone. If Tort reform ever gets passed properly, the Democrat Party will lose a huge funding source and frivolous lawsuits will be more challenging to bring to court from all the “special” people with their sense of grievance and entitlement.
What a person wants to be and what they actually are, given their sexual being by God , are two very different things. What God made each of us to be cannot be over ruled by and court of mortal men & women.
Ruling on this case is totally invalid.
I don’t mind the ruling on the face of it. We all have the right to earn a living; however, equal rights for all doesn’t mean “special rights” for some.
The immoral nature of the democrat mindset of depravity and indifference to humanity, is represented in their quest to corrupt the minds of the innocent, for example the ignorance of forcing the lie of 99 different genders, all being discriminated against! A society of victims so dependent on the democrat puppeteers
to hold their hand and make laws to protect these manufactured sexual deviants and depraved lifestyles overriding the civilized society right and protections to raise their kids to be honest, respectable, hard working contributors to a civilized society!
The democrats are a very dark stain on humanity!
These people went to law school and they still cannot read?
How totally disappointing as the Supreme Court has now placed the last nail in the coffin of a representative republic. This has nothing to do with whether LTGB individuals should be covered by Title 7, for that is clearly an issue for the people to decide through their elected Representatives. What the Supreme Court has done is to give unto itself the ability to rewrite and reinterpret the clear and plain language of any legislation Congress passes.
In 1964 LTGB was not only not a thing, sex change operations had never been done and transgenderism was considered a mental illness. The word SEX in Title 7 in it common and legal usage at the time meant biological sex, period. The Supreme Court’s decision and claim that the Congress used the word Sex in a broad sense is total and utter nonsense with no basis in fact. Homosexuality was a thing and would be covered by the plain understanding of the word..
What a load of crap. God says a man has something between his legs and a woman that has something between her legs that a man puts something in.
The SCOTUS can’t change God’s law.
What is America coming to. I’m an 80 years old man can I be a transgender and use the women’s restroom now
I don’t understand why there should be a law like this. If you go to work and do your job everyday like everybody else, you don’t have to be worried. But if you make it difficult for everyone else to work with you, you are not a valuable member of the team. The boss has the final say, don’t take that away from them.
I am worried that this decision will require religious institutions to keep teachers and other employees who gay marry. This has happened twice in our state (WA)…catholic schools required their teachers to sign a contract that said if they were to give scandal or commit sin that causes a scandal, then they would be terminated. It happened twice in 5 years that catholic HS teachers gay married and were fired for getting married to one of the same sex. This will cause numerous lawsuits against catholic schools, so get ready by crafting pre-hire contracts that meet the law but prevent the catholic church from sanctioning gay marriage. The LBGT activists will try to make sure that you care and that you capitulate.
