Ariel opens our discussion by naming the importance of how employment is a massive predictor of survival for LGBTQ people, particularly those who hold multiple marginalized identities. Black LGBTQ people, particularly Black trans women, are disproportionately denied employment.
.@omargp analyzes a macroscopic perspective of Title VII interpretations.

Good morning. We are waiting for Supreme Court opinions to begin being released at 10am ET.
Today, the Supreme Court could decide if your employer can fire you for being LGBTQ.
The fact that this is up for debate is absurd.

JUST IN: The Court has announced that opinions will be released not one after the other, but spaced 10 minutes apart.
You know, in case we weren't feeling enough suspense.

So um, about tomorrow. The Supreme Court will be releasing opinions tomorrow morning.

Yeah, this ... Doesn’t feel great!
But, we are taking lots of deep breaths and keeping our fingers crossed.

Today was not the day.
One SCOTUS opinion released (not the ones we were waiting for) and they're done for the day.
Next #DecisionDay TBD.

Good morning. We’re awaiting a potential decision today from the Supreme Court about whether or not the Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ employees from being fired for who they are or who they love. Opinions will be released at 10am ET. Happy Pride Month?
Get the facts: Here's an explainer on how we got to this moment with our Employment Fairness Project Director Greg Nevins. #DecisionDay lambdalegal.org/blog/20190924_…
We've been explaining to the courts for years how Title VII protects LGBTQ employees.
If you would fire a man for marrying a man, but would not fire a woman for marrying a man, that's sex discrimination! #DecisionDay

In just a few minutes, the Supreme Court could issue their opinion on whether or not the Civil Rights Act protects #LGBTQ workers. It's kind of a big deal!

"In light of Title VII’s clear language prohibiting discrimination because of sex, these cases should be quite easy for the court to resolve in the employees’ favor." Read this explainer from our own @SharonMcGowanDC & @civilrightsorg's @vanitaguptaCR.

➡️ Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination "based on sex."
➡️ If you would fire a man for marrying a man but not a woman, it's sex discrimination.
➡️ If you would fire anyone for not conforming to sex-based stereotypes, it's sex discrimination. #DecisionDay

Today is another #DecisionDay at #SCOTUS.
We're waiting on a ruling in cases concerning whether the Civil Rights Act protects employees from sexual orientation & gender identity discrimination.
Needless to say, the stakes are high.

Needless to say, the stakes are high.
The question at the heart of this is simple: "If an employer fires a worker of one sex, in circumstances where it would not fire someone of another sex, it has committed illegal sex discrimination."
