FAB attorney Alexa Bradley recently published an article for the Marquette University Law School Faculty Blog, which analyzes the recent United States Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held that Title VII’s prohibition of workplace “sex” discrimination clearly encompasses discrimination based on one’s sexual orientation or transgender status because “homosexuality and transgender status are inextricably bound up with sex.” In her article, Attorney Bradley explains the background and history of Title VII and the landscape of Supreme Court case law interpreting “sex” against which the Bostock decision must be understood. She also details the growing circuit split in our Nation’s federal courts regarding the various interpretations of Title VII’s prohibition of “sex” discrimination that made the issue ripe for the Court’s consideration. Attorney Bradley goes on to analyze the majority opinion and the dissents, and wraps up her article with a few concluding thoughts about where we go from here.
