Discriminated against for being heterosexual? The war on diversity returns to the US Supreme Court
Conservative-majority court hears case of a woman who says she lost her job and was passed over for promotion in favor of two gay people
Amid an offensive against diversity and inclusion policies, the U.S Supreme Court is examining a case that fits like a glove for its conservative revolution. The judges issued a ruling in 2023 against affirmative action based on race in university access that opened the way to lawsuits of all kinds against educational institutions, companies, and other organizations. The case that began Wednesday in an oral hearing represents a further twist: a woman claims that she was discriminated against for being heterosexual, in favor of two homosexuals.
