The UGA I-O program could not be more excited by this news! We echo Justice Gorsuch: "... 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.” Today was a huge win for American workers.

Court rules 1964 civil rights law bars employers from discriminating against workers based on sexual orientation or transgender status
