发帖数: 3435 | 1 Justice Department says no LGBT protection in federal sex-discrimination law
By JOSH GERSTEIN 07/27/2017 02:48 PM EDT
The Trump administration is further angering gay rights activists by arguing
in court that federal law against sex discrimination in employment doesn't
protect individuals from being fired because they are gay, lesbian or
transgender.
The Justice Department made the argument in a brief filed Wednesday in a
federal appeals court in New York in a case involving skydiving instructor
Donald Zarda who claimed he was fired from his Long Island skydiving firm,
Altitude Express, because he was gay.
"The essential element of sex discrimination under Title VII [of the 1964
Civil Rights Act] is that employees of one sex must be treated worse than
similar situated employees of the other sex, and sexual orientation
discrimination simply does not have that effect," acting Justice Department
Civil Division chief Chad Readler and acting Civil Rights Division head Tom
Wheeler wrote in the amicus brief.
As the Justice Department brief notes, for decades, courts have ruled that
firing or discriminating against employees because they're gay or lesbian
does not violate federal law. | d*******y
