SCOTUS ruled in Bostock v Clayton (2020) that that 1964 Civil rights Act protects employees against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

I guess they are teeing this up to see if the current SCOTUS will overturn their previous ruling.

You know how many people will claim those aren't laws because they are idiots and do not understand how the supreme court works at all?

"Roe v Wade wasn't an actual law that's why they overturned it" is the thing I've heard a million times at this point.

Oh I know, just holding on to what rights we have. Unfortunately, there's still no federal legislation guaranteeing the lgbt rights under attack.
