AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
The Supreme Court was hearing arguments Tuesday in two of the term's most closely watched cases over whether federal civil rights law protects LGBTQ people from job discrimination. The cases are the court's first on LGBTQ rights since Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement and replacement by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
A decision is expected by early summer 2020, amid the presidential election campaign. The issue is whether a key provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that bars discrimination in employment because of sex covers LGBTQ people.
