The Fluidity of LGBTQ+ Rights in the Workplace, Part 2: But What About Bathrooms and Pronouns?

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held discrimination in hiring and firing based on gender identity or sexual orientation constitutes sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, remains the law of the land. However, the Bostock decision did not address a wide range of other LGBTQ+ workplace issues and rights, such as pronouns, honorifics, single-sex facility usage, and dress codes.
