Federal legislation prohibiting discrimination against employees on the basis of their sexual orientation and/or their gender identity has been proposed and tabled for decades. In the absence of a nation-wide anti-discrimination statute, a patchwork of state statutes filled some of the gaps until 2020 when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia. In Bostock, the Court interpreted Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s prohibition on gender discrimination to also prohibit discrimination in the workplace on the basis of an employee’s LGBTQ+ status. However, with the recently leaked draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, there are new concerns about the effects the final decision may have on LGTBQ+ rights in the workplace. In this webinar, panelists will discuss the obstacles faced in advancing federal legislation, how the Bostock decision changed the employment landscape for LGBTQ+ workers, what the movement to advance those employees’ rights and to foster inclusion looks like now, concerns about the potential effects of the Dobbs decision, and what lessons we can learn from other countries that have implemented more robust anti-discrimination protections for their LGBTQ+ workforce. Our goal will be to foster a discussion among practitioners and LGBTQ+ allies about how to best litigate and advocate for LGBTQ+ workers’ rights.
