The Supreme Court handed a big win to the LGBT community Monday, ruling in a 6-3 decision that an employer who fires a worker for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act -- which already protected people from employer sex discrimination, as well as discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin.

This is classic legislating from the bench.

The authors of the civil rights act in 1964, were not talking about homosexuality or transsexual people , when that law banned discrimination on the basis of sex.

This is a good example of liberals deciding that sex discrimination laws,”should” apply to persons who are not heterosexual.

Six votes. This is disheartening to conservatives. We are not making progress. Undeserving people have been placed on the court.

And savvy employers will avoid hiring the gay homosexuals in the future to avoid all this.

You honestly think a gay person should be fired just for being gay?

legal or illegal, there is something wrong with that thinking.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

So discrimination for going through life fat, drunk and stupid but also gay is no longer allowed? The gay escape clause. Tell Dean Wormer. He’s not gonna like it.

Gorsuch suffers from Stockholm Syndrome after the way he was treated by the leftists during his confirmation. So we can officially stop calling this a conservative supreme court, it is very far from it with Roberts and Gorsuch as liberal as the others in that bloc. And by natural extension, say goodbye to women’s sports, it’s only a matter of time before it is wiped out by men dressed like women.

Good news! From now on if I'm ever fired...or "discriminated against" in any way...all I have to do is say "I'm transgender" and get a lawyer.

Another "Lawyers' Full Employment" ruling from SCOTUS.

The law says it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sex, it doe not say “your brand of perversion”.
