The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, holds that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees from discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The court held that an employer has violated Title VII’s “discrimination on the basis of sex” when it has intentionally fired an individual employee based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. Furthermore, the court held that Title VII protections within the employment context apply to discrimination against an individual, even if, the employer’s policy does not involve discrimination against groups.
