What are the three cases?

1. What are the three cases?

The Supreme Court heard three cases to determine whether the LGBTQ individuals were protected from any discrimination in the workplace as mentioned in the civil rights act. The proceedings were to determine if a person could be fired in the workplace because of one’s gender identity or sexual orientation. One of the cases was to determine if law protected transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals (Brown & Scott, 2019). The other cases were concerned to bring justice to individuals fired on their workplaces after they were recognized as gay by their employers.

2. Briefly summarize each case (3 points)

The first case to determine if law protected transgender involved a person namely Aimee Stephens sending a letter to one of the employed with the message that the firm would begin following the female dress code in the firm. After sending the letter she was fired from the firm with the basis that the employee violated the dress code of the company (Esposito, 2018). This forced Stephens to file a case claiming was fired based on transgender. On the other hand, the two cases concerned with the firing of persons based on been gay, involved a person named Donald Zarda who claimed that he was fired after confessing to a female that he was gay. This made him file a lawsuit in the court against his employer.

3. What are thoughts on each case? (3 points)

In the first case, the court held that Stephens was violated against Title VII. The Trump administration put clear that the “sex” in Title VII was about biological sex and not transgender thus Stephens was covered by the law (Blosnich, Shipherd & Kauth, 2019). The other cases, Zarda won the case where it was thought that Zarda’s termination was violated against Title VII.

4. Do you think we need new law(s), or are these cases already covered under the Title VII?

Basing on the judgments made on the three cases implies that new laws required defining more about Title VII. This is because sex-orientation could also be understood as a form of sex discrimination.
