Bostock VS. Clayton County

This is a case in which the issue at hand is employment and discrimination. Even though in Boston according to Title VII there was no clear means through which a person could be discriminated it turns out that the ruling of the case was very explicit in terms of how employees should be treated and it said that employees should never at any given moment be discriminated based on their sexual orientation. This was because some people discriminated against some others in their working environments based on their sexual orientation and the people who suffered a lot where the LGBTQ community since a lot of people were not comfortable with working with them. Bostock sued Clayton County for discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The major laws involved in the court were majorly the laws of the state and Title VII laws. The laws were not clear and the case was taken to the supreme court for a better interpretation and final verdict about whether it is okay in some instances to discriminate against a person based on their sexual orientation. The supreme court decided that it was unlawful to discriminate against a person based on their sexual orientation and that it was illegal. I agree with the court’s ruling because indeed it is wrong to have a person be discriminated against because they do not follow what most people do or to be discriminated against because they are different than other people. Therefore, the court enabled people to have a uniform place of work whereby there are no people who are better than others.
