John Stonestreet Interviews ADF's John Bursch on SCOTUS Ruling - BreakPoint Exclusive
John Stonestreet sits down with ADF's John Bursch, senior counsel and vice president of appellate advocacy with Alliance Defending Freedom. Bursch was an attorney for Tom and Nancy Ross, owners of the funeral home in this ruling.
Yesterday, June 15th, 2020, by a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibited discrimination in employment on the basis of sex, also includes sexual orientation and gender identity.
The decision, Bostock v. Clayton County, involved three cases. In two of them, a social worker and a skydiving instructor claimed they were fired for being gay. The third case involved the firing of a funeral home employee who, after being hired as a man, identified and presented as a woman.
