I know we have been talking a lot about Trump and impeachment, but I was reading about this case (and we got an e-mail from the school about it), so I think it is also important to acknowledge it in class. In the Trump era, I have noticed how much more infrequently we see non-presidential news, so I thought I would share this important story for not only LGBTQ+ Americans but our entire nation. This is also interesting as the article explains how this is the first LGBTQ+ case to be brought to the Supreme Court since Justice Kennedy, and therefore the outcome should be interesting as we do not know as clearly as we did before what the result will be. This case focuses on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, questioning if it includes the LGBTQ+ community in its protections.
