SCOTUS, good news!!
Got it, reading now. The holding is simple: "An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII'.
This is really good news because it applies nationwide. (Fewer than half of states currently have non-discrimination protections on the basis of gender identity. A dozen or so have no protections of any sort for any LGBTQ+ employees.)
SCOTUS, good news!!
Quote I got from someone else (because I'm still waiting for the PDF): "Today, we must decide whether an employer can fire someone simply for being homosexual or transgender. The answer is clear. An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids."

Doesn't erase what's been going on, especially over the past month, but every little victory counts

Small wonder you're so fucking miserable all the time if you think shoving this shit into everyone's eyeballs is going to do anything but drag the rest of us down with you
I hope people keep unfollowing you until you either learn or give up and go back to birdsite
