The question is whether sex discrimination within the title vii, which is the federal law that bars employment discrimination, whether sex discrimination applied to Sexual Orientation and gender identity. The court in the ruling ,esterday said that it does which was surprising to some because you had chief Justice Roberts and justice and neil gorsuch joining the four liberals, as you mentioned, in that ruling.
