This decision by the US Supreme Court seems to be good news for LGB & T rights

It held that an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which covers sex discrimination.
It is about 3 cases:

Gerald Bostock fired after he joined a gay softball league. Donald Zarda fired after he mentioned being gay.
Aimee Stephens, fired after saying would transition.
The US unlike the UK's Equality Act doesn't have separate protections for discrimination based on sexual orientation, maternity or "gender reassignment"

So the approach was to push for discrimination for being gay or trans to be covered under sex discrimination.

Over 500 from the UK this week. It will take a little time to sort through them.

Here is some data (UK respondents only)
Overwhelming it is women who are concerned about this (9 to 1)
They span the age range, but tend to have more rather than less "lived experience", as they say
