On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will be hearing 3 cases involving allegations of LGBTQ discrimination in the workplace. The Court will be determining whether or not Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which grants protections on the basis of race, protects sexual orientation and gender identity. Currently the Federal Equal Employment Commission (FEEC) holds that it will include gender identity and sexual orientation as a protected class in all cases they review, whether or not the state which the case originates from holds the same view. The Court will be examining whether or not the FEEC has that authority.
