Justice Neil M. Gorsuch's majority opinion in Bostock v. Clayton County emphasized that discrimination against gay and transgender workers is a violation of Title VII, affirming their protections under law.
In the landmark Bostock v. Clayton County ruling, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and the liberal justices supported the interpretation that firing an employee for being gay or transgender contradicts established anti-discrimination laws.
President Donald J. Trump noted the impact of the Bostock ruling, describing it as a 'very powerful decision,' highlighting its significance in the broader context of civil rights.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissent criticized the majority's interpretation: he claimed there is no evidence that Congress intended for the 1964 law to cover LGBTQ individuals under its sex discrimination clause.
