The Supreme Court Just Rewrote Our Civil Rights Laws
The Supreme Court recently ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which among other things bans employment discrimination on the basis of sex, extends the meaning of sex to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and transgender status. The Supreme Court got it wrong. The word ‘sex’—still today and when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964—refers to our biological reality as male or female. It doesn’t refer to our sexual orientations or gender identities.

Firing someone soley based on their sexual orientation is discrimination and should be illegal.
i just know that we must take care of whats important. i think we people create many ideas in our heads and want justice in everything. just live life and do what you have to do. dont make it harder on other people guys.
Maybe the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was unconstitutional and you should be able to fire who you want for whatever reason after all it is your business
Oh no! Now you can’t force LBGTQ individuals out of jobs just because your magic book says so! So sad! /s
And the problem is?
Why is this a bad thing? I’m sorry I just want to understand.
Oh no… not equal rights… that's horrible…
This ruling was incredibly ridiculous because there is no way when the Constitution was written that they intended to include non biological definitions of sex, I don’t think that gender identity or sexual preference was in any way thought of or discussed in 1963 when Title nine was written. This is nonsensical on it’s face and should be dealt with in Congress where it should have been dealt with in the first place.
Facts don't care about your feelings.
Are they nuts? Oh yeah some of them are " Liberals ".
Consequences for privacy, safety, and equality for all Americans? No. That was the case before this ruling. No one is being hurt by someone else being gay. If our “heritage” is of this bigotry then I want no part of it.
This opens the door for more loss of religious freedom. Which is actually the real goal for this Supreme Court Ruling. Nine Justices should not be able to lay down laws for the entire country. These things should be voted on. The United States is less and less a democracy every day. I want less Government.
Sooo…what can we do about that?
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Absolutely ridiculous and unwarranted!
I work in a hospital. We change clothes in a dressing room. I guess that soon we will have a big meeting about how to address all these people, and sooner or later, something with a penis will be in the women's dressing room. No thanks.
Oh those salty conservative tears, They are delicious.
Can we all agree Roberts is awful and the Obamacare ruling wasn't a one off. Hands down, Roberts will be the worst of GW Bush's legacy. And, no I didn't even need to go look to see how Roberts ruled on this, it's obvious he was in the majority opinion if something like this gets thru.
Rome wasn't built in a day. It didn't fall in a day either. Watching the USA on a slow motion slide into the dark abyss of history.
I read The quest for cosmic justice by Sowell last year, opened my mind, none of this is surprising.
???? Seriously – Does this mean I can just put on a Dress and join a Women's Sport's Team???
As usual the not so supreme court shows the world that its purpose is akin to nipples on a boar hog.
Decorative slower than fungus and of no real value unless you are the firm that manufactures nipple studs.
I notice you didn't mention the destruction of western values and the nuclear family…
Balkanize… End Tyranny.
Why all the concern for women, they thrown us under the bus for the past 3 decades, when it come to Men's rights when were they ever concerned.
DId women not do this to men's sports and so on !?
They cannot write laws. They are to rule if laws are Constitutional. They over stepped there authority.
What is your "biological reality"? I can already see the perplexed faces when asked this question.
so now 'gender dysphoria' is recognized as being a reality for the observers of the afflicted party not just the mentally damaged. We are supposed to play along as if it's real. So if I believe that I am literally made out of gold, can I then pay someone with a small chunk of me, say a little lump of my gold shit?
What kind of world are we living in??
This is such a relief to me! I thought England was the only Cuntry on the planet where the judiciary were really just an extension of the executive whose sole purpose was to be the attack dog enemies (of the real government, the unelected civil servants and power brokers who are always in power and think it is their superior right of privilige) against the people, ie the enemies of the people. Y'know they would never ever give us second amendment rights in England. I don't think that they trust us!
Lol. I thought that CCP propaganda was bad. This is next level of evil.
Oh wow… Woman's Sports are going to get really crazy now.
F…k Judge Neil G. What a major traitor! The President and Conservative base trusted you!!
I can honestly care less if someone's gay or straight. If they are qualified to do the job and have a clean work history they are hired.
Gee what could go wrong? You wait – just wait. The feminists aren't going to appreciate finding a biological man who claims he thinks he's a woman in their restroom. Whatever follows will surely make the recent riots look like a church picnic.
Ah , poor big corporations have to treat all humans equal.
So this means a man who wants to be a predator can dress female and go to the womens locker room or prey on little girls??? I thought it was just letting gay people have access to the same rights of the law for being US citizens.
The Supreme Court also rejected 10 second ammendment cases this week, allowing the states' unconstitutional rulings to stand.
I am glad to see that sexual orientation and gender are included as protected. It's about time.
I think all Americans should be treated equally and enjoy the opportunities of this diverse nation.
TIME FOR A RESET. OF THE REVOLUTION KIND. PUT ON YOUR BIG BOY AND BIG GIRL PANTS, BOYS & GIRLS, JULY 4, 2020 IS GOING TO BE A RESET.
OF THE REVOLUTIONARY KIND.
As a Christian, I know, that unless we stop the sexual perversion of our civilization, we will be utterly destroyed. But you ALL, deep down, know it too.
In an interview, is it still legal to not hire someone because they are an idiot? Or is that a protected group too?
So a persons sex is no longer relevant? Just their sexual orientation?
At some point we have to take a stand. This is it. All of these made up "ism's" do not exist… Racism, sexism etc. Good v evil, Right v wrong.
The Supreme Court is the institution that is supposed to uphold the rule of law not sabotage it. What a mess.
It's a free country…. sort of. /s
OMG. The filth is oozing from the very walls of the Supreme Court! Impeach the activist TRAITORS!
There goes women’s sports, it’s not like they didn’t already have problems but who wants to watch a freak show with men beating the hell out of women?
How do you feel about the Supreme Court's decision?
