The Supreme Court is expected to make a significant ruling on reverse discrimination in the upcoming Ames v. Ohio case. Marlean Ames has claimed she faced discrimination at a state agency because it favored LGBTQ employees for promotions. Her case raises crucial questions about federal employment law's stance on discrimination, particularly Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The case could challenge the longstanding 'background circumstances' rule that imposes a higher burden of proof on majority group plaintiffs like Ames, affecting how reverse discrimination against heterosexuals is perceived legally.
The Supreme Court seems poised to decapitate the legal viability of reverse discrimination against heterosexuals and bolster racial reverse-discrimination claims.
Ames alleged she suffered employment discrimination as a heterosexual in an Ohio state agency that favored LGBTQ employees, raising questions over workplace equity.
