Bostock v. Clayton County

Bostock v. Clayton County is a landmark Supreme Court case from 2020 that addressed whether federal law protects employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Gerald Bostock was fired for being gay, and he argued this was a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sex. The Court ruled that discrimination against someone for being gay or transgender is indeed a form of sex discrimination, thus extending legal protections to LGBTQ+ employees under federal law. This decision marked a significant advancement in civil rights for the LGBTQ+ community.
