Restrict the reach of the Bostock ruling
What the document says“The new Administration should restrict Bostock’s application of sex discrimination protections to sexual orientation and transgender status in the context of hiring and firing.”
Bostock v. Clayton County held in 2020 that firing someone for being gay or transgender is discrimination because of sex under Title VII. The chapter asks that its reasoning be confined to hiring and firing, that agencies withdraw notices and guidance applying it more broadly, and that regulations reading sex discrimination to cover sexual orientation, gender identity and transgender status be rescinded.
What the document actually says“The new Administration should restrict Bostock’s application of sex discrimination protections to sexual orientation and transgender status in the context of hiring and firing.”
One court ruling covers hiring and firing. Keep it to that and no further.
A court said firing someone for being gay or trans is sex discrimination. The book says that should apply to hiring and firing only. It should not spread to other rules.
