HRC Condemns Trump-Pence Efforts to Abandon Protections for Transgender Employees<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

HRC condemned the Department of Justice\u2019s brief submitted this afternoon arguing that transgender people are not protected by Title VII\u2019s prohibition on sex<\/a> discrimination. This brief was submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case EEOC v. Harris Funeral Homes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump-Pence administration\u2019s filing today is both legally and morally unjustifiable,\u201d said HRC Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. <\/strong>\u00a0\u201cTheir argument is un-American, anti-business, and flies in the face of decades of federal case law, including established Supreme Court precedent. There can be no justification for such a narrow interpretation of the term \u2018sex<\/a>.\u2019 Our community will not be silent, and we will not be erased.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This July, in this case and two related filings, HRC, Lambda Legal, Out & Equal, Out Leadership, and Freedom for All Americans submitted a \u201cfriend of the court\u201d brief signed by over 200 major corporations<\/a> arguing that LGBTQ people should be understood to be protected under Title VII. The landmark brief had more corporate signers than any previous business brief in an LGBTQ non-discrimination case.<\/p>\n

For more information on the development of federal law on regarding the term \u201csex<\/a>\u201d please see HRC\u2019s sex discrimination report<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
