How A Law From 1964 Suddenly Protects Transgender Government Workers
Attorney General Eric Holder released a memo Thursday outlining the Justice Department’s decision to redefine its interpretation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit workplace discrimination against transgender people.
Effective immediately, the Justice Department can now prosecute on behalf of people who claim to have been discriminated against by state and local public employers based on sex identity.
“The federal government’s approach to this issue has also evolved over time,” Holder wrote in the memo, adding that the new interpretation is the “most straightforward reading” of the law.
This is essentially a 180 from their decision in 2006 under George W. Bush that stated the law did not cover transgender workplace protections.
Holder’s memo comes on the tail of a series of moves from the Obama administration to grant stronger workplace rights to transgender employees. In July, Obama ordered protection for gay/trans employees of the federal government or companies with active federal contracts.
The Justice Department has no authority, however, to sue private employers, so the memo does not affect them.

Grieving Partner of Sydney Siege Victim Tori Johnson Speaks Out for the First Time: VIDEO
As we reported previously, Tori Johnson, the cafe manager of the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney, Australia who was killed during the hostage siege earlier this week, was openly gay and in a fourteen year relationship with his partner Thomas Zinn.
Speaking out publicly for the first time on Australia’s Today show this morning, Zinn spoke about the love he shared with his “humble, fair, and generous” partner as well as how the flower memorial at Martin Place has comforted him during this time of mourning.
Zinn also released a statement on behalf of Johnson’s family that read in part:
This tragedy will remain with us forever. But the uniting effects of this week, how they have galvanized our city, our country makes us even more proud of Tori and Katrina and proud of all Australians.
Mother of three Katrina Dawson was the other hostage killed during the siege.
