The Supreme Court is taking up the case of an Ohio woman who claims she suffered sex discrimination in her employment because she is straight.
The justices on Friday agreed to review an appellate ruling that upheld the dismissal of the discrimination lawsuit filed by the woman, Marlean Ames, against the Ohio Department of Youth Services. Arguments probably will take place early next year.
Ames, who has worked for the department for 20 years, contends she was passed over for a promotion and then demoted because she is heterosexual. Both the job she sought and the one she had held were given to LGBTQ people.
this is a call for all athiests, muslims, hindus, buddhists, satanists and the like should to apply at christian run businesses and be open about their religion (or lack thereof) at the interviewing. Then sue when they aren’t hired, or f they are hired and get fired for not participating in the in-offtce christian pagentry.
The hetero victimhood is strong in this one.
If she can demonstrate that she was denied a promotion or was demoted based on her sex or her orientation then she should win. Discrimination is against the law.
Although if she’s conflating her orientation class with her just being a fucking asshole she should lose.
How would one show that in a court room?
Doesn’t really matter, either she can prove her case or she can’t. If she can’t, no one has to prove it was because she was an asshole.
I disagree with your assessment. Just because someone can’t demonstrate something doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I’ll wait to see how it plays out.
Just because someone can’t demonstrate something doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
That’s exactly my point about whether or not she’s an asshole. Moreover, the outcome of the legal proceedings don’t depend on whether anyone can prove it.
But the outcome of the legal proceedings are entirely dependent on whether she can prove her assertion.
You disagree with my assessment because you are misinterpreting it.

no one is required to do so for this court room event, and hence:
Doesn’t really matter, either she can prove her case or she can’t.
The tail end of the article:
People alleging workplace bias have to show “background circumstances,” including that LGBTQ people made the decisions affecting Ames or statistical evidence showing a pattern of discrimination against members of the majority group.
The appeals court noted that Ames didn’t provide any such circumstances.
So, in other words, SCOTUS took the case to invent something entirely unrelated in order to rollback 40 years of progress. Got it. I’ll look forward in dread for the outcome in 9 months.
LGBTQ+ will only legally be allowed to promote straight people going forward.
Or they’ll make the correct decision that there is no basis, and they’ll get praised for making a rational decision (in a 7-2 ruling).
Republicans really do get praised for almost doing the bare minimum.

It’s gonna blow your mind when you realize it’s not just Republicans it happens to.
This reeks of old people/Karen privilege. Just hoist yourself up by your bootstraps, print out a resume, shake the managers hand and ask for a job.
