Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about 3 LGBT rights cases that are way bigger than marriage equality, and yet, almost no one’s talking about it
, filing briefs in both arguing against protection under Title VII, claiming it’s perfectly legal to discriminate against LGBT people.
When the Court hears these blockbuster cases Tuesday, all eyes will be on the Court’s conservative Justices. Three of the five of them — Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, and Samuel Alito — ruled against same-sex marriage.
Whatever happens with this conservative dilemma, the cases being argued tomorrow are of monumental significance. A ruling for the employees will mean that LGBT people will be protected from discrimination at work and possibly even beyond. Many other laws protect against sex discrimination, such as in housing or education, and it would be an easy case to make to apply an employment ruling to these other contexts.
We won’t know the outcome this week, but we will get a glimpse into what the Justices are thinking on these important issues. Amidst everything going on in the world today, everyone should be devoting some of their attention to these cases. Because the life of virtually every LGBT person will be affected.
