Disgraceful: Fired Because They\u2019re LGBTQ<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

Our rights are once again on the line at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Court will hear three major LGBTQ civil rights cases that could decide how federal non-discrimination laws apply to LGBTQ people.<\/strong>\u00a0In each case, a worker was fired \u2013\u2013 not because of their performance or work ethic, but because they are part of the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n

The decision made in these cases will impact millions of LGBTQ people across the country, so it\u2019s important to stay in the know.<\/p>\n

Text\u00a0SCOTUS\u00a0to 472472 and HRC will update you as the cases progress and send you the decision as soon as it comes down this spring.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, check out our explainer infographic and share it with friends \u2013\u2013 it breaks down what this case is all about and why the decision will be so significant to us.<\/p>\n

GET THE INFOGRAPHIC.<\/a><\/p>\n

LGBTQ workers like Aimee Stephens, Donald Zarda and Gerald Lynn Bostock don\u2019t deserve to lose their jobs unjustly.<\/p>\n

No one deserves to be denied a job or fired simply because of who they are or whom they love, period.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll personally be monitoring the Court closely in the months ahead for all our HRC members and supporters.<\/p>\n

For the latest updates on these three cases \u2013\u2013 and other important news impacting equality \u2013\u2013 text SCOTUS to 472472.<\/p>\n
