Bostock v. Clayton County (view source)

, 01:50, October 22, 2020Addition of facts and case history
'''''Bostock v. Clayton County''''' 590 U.S. ___ (2020) was a [[United States Supreme Court]] case that illegally ruled that members of the [[LGBT]] community were "protected" under [[Title VII]] of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] through [[judicial activism]]. In this case, justices [[Neil Gorsuch]] and [[John Roberts]] betrayed [[conservatives]] by ruling with the [[liberal]] side of the court to re-write the law, despite the fact that they are not legally authorized to do so. [[Samuel Alito]], [[Brett Kavanaugh]], and [[Clarence Thomas]] all dissented, citing the fact that [[sexual orientation theory|sexual "orientation"]] was not even mentioned in Title VII at all. As a result of this unfortunate decision, an employer can no longer terminate an employee due to his or her sexual identity. This case has been nicknamed the "[[Roe v. Wade]]" of [[homosexual "rights"]] cases,<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/josh_hammer/status/1272532875204853761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1272532875204853761%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesitenews.com%2Fnews%2Fsupreme-court-votes-6-3-to-redefine-sex-write-transgenderism-into-1964-law</ref> and it is one of the boldest moves against [[religious liberty]] so far. Similar to how ''[[Lawrence v. Texas]]'' opened the door to the legalization of [[same-sex "marriage"]], ''Bostock v. Clayton County'' opens the door to religious persecution in the [[United States of America]].

==Facts==
Three cases were decided by ''Bostock v. Clayton County'', each of which dealt with the firing of a homosexual or transgender employee.
Gerald Bostock was an employee of Clayton County, Georgia, where he worked as a child welfare advocate. He was fired after he started participating in a gay softball league.<ref name="ref1">https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/17-1618_hfci.pdf</ref>
Donald Zarda worked for a New York company named Altitude Express, where he was employed as a skydiving instructor. He was fired shortly after indicating that he was gay.<ref name="ref1"/>
Aimee Stephens was employed by R. G. & G. R. Harris Funeral Homes in Garden City, Michigan, after she applied as a male. After seeking treatment for emotional and mental struggles, she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. At her clinicians' recommendation, she told her employer that she was going to begin to “live and work full-time as a woman,” and upon this statement she was fired by the funeral home.<ref name="ref1"/>
==Case History==
Each employee brought suit for sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Both the Second and Sixth Circuits allowed the cases brought by Mr. Zarda and Ms. Stephens, respectively, to proceed. On the other hand, the Eleventh Circuit ruled that it was not illegal for Clayton County, under the text of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to fire Mr. Bostock for being gay; therefore, it was appropriate to dismiss the claim as a matter of law.<ref name="ref1"/>
