Abstract:

In a recent June 15, 2020 decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled that protections of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extend to individuals who are discriminated in the workplace based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The conclusion is the ruling has a narrow application and lower courts will be faced with tougher questions.
