Supreme Court Bans LGBTQ Discrimination At Work – A Lower Merion – Narberth Perspective

by Gerry

ABC SCOTUS LGBTQ Ruling

ABC News -“The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today that LGBTQ Americans are protected by the anti discrimination laws of this country, at their workplaces. They cannot be fired or otherwise discriminated against at work, simply because they are lesbian,  gay, bi-sexual, or trans-gender.”

“I could get married tomorrow, go to work Monday, bring in a picture of me an my husband, put it on my desk, and get fired.” 

Larry Felzer said at a “Unity Event,” in Narberth on November 12, 2016 – four days after Donald Trump was elected President Of The United States

Felzer had this to say about today’s landmark ruling:

It is very exciting and gratifying to have the court rule that discriminating against LGBT individuals is against the law in the workplace.  However, this does not cover individuals that work for smaller employers (under 15 employees) nor does it cover discrimination in housing and public accommodations.   So although this is a huge victory, there is still more work to be done in protecting LGBT individuals against discrimination.

I was watching the Luge on NBC over the weekend. I thought it was boring, especially when juxtaposed against the more dramatic events, like curling.  The color commentator kept explaining how each “slider” was doing something slightly better or worse than the others, but to my untrained eye, they all looked the same: feet first, […]
