This week, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia and two related cases, holding that an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This episode explores this landmark decision with Joshua Matz, a constitutional lawyer who wrote a key brief in support of the employees in these cases, and scholar Matthew Franck. They dive “into the weeds” of Justice Gorsuch’s majority opinion, the dissents, and their reasonings—then look at “the forest” of how this ruling will affect LGBTQ people.
