Today is another #DecisionDay at #SCOTUS.
We're waiting on a ruling in cases concerning whether the Civil Rights Act protects employees from sexual orientation & gender identity discrimination.
Needless to say, the stakes are high.
The question at the heart of this is simple: "If an employer fires a worker of one sex, in circumstances where it would not fire someone of another sex, it has committed illegal sex discrimination."

Queer fam, this is stressful.
No matter how today (or the next #DecisionDay) goes, remember:
✅ you have inherent worth and value regardless of your job
✅ you are not alone
✅ you are loved
✅ Lambda Legal will never stop fighting for you.
Two decisions have been released. One was argued in November. The other was argued in January.
The one we're watching for was argued in ... October.
Today, it turns out, is not the day. The "R-" numbers are now up on the SCOTUS opinion page.
3 opinions went out, none of which were the one we're waiting for. As you were, folks. #DecisionDay.
