The Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held discrimination in hiring and firing based on gender identity or sexual orientation constitutes sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, remains the law of the land. However, the Bostock decision did not address a wide range of other LGBTQ+ workplace issues and rights, such as pronouns, honorifics, single-sex facility usage, and dress codes. Since Bostock, many states and localities have enacted laws or issued guidance on pronouns and bathroom/locker room usage,and various courts have also addressed these issues. Join us to learn what employers need to know about their compliance obligations and how to approach intersecting rights in light of new federal policies and enforcement strategies.
