- Matthew Kacsmaryk, a federal judge in Texas, ruled that the Biden Administration overreached in issuing rules allowing LGBTQ employees to use bathrooms based on gender identity.
- Kacsmaryk said that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars the LGBTQ community from discriminatory hiring practices “but not necessarily all correlated conduct,” including bathroom and pronoun use.
- The guidance from the EEOC came after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said that Title VII extends to protect individuals in the workplace from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Several LGBTQ employees sued after losing their jobs because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
