According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Texas ranked first last year in workplace discrimination claims. Many at the forefront of this conversation wonder what message this decision now sends to businesses across the state.
AUSTIN, Texas — The 6-3 decision, which says businesses can’t be compelled to provide services in which they’re ideologically opposed, comes at a time when many in the LGBTQ+ community feel they’ve been unfairly targeted across the state and country.
“This decision, on its face, is a very limited decision but the implications are very worrisome and much more ominous,” Lackey said. Shelly Skeen, South Central regional director for Lambda Legal, believes more conservative-leaning states like Texas could be the first to test this ruling. As a longtime supporter and proud member of the community, many now question whether previously legal protections will still apply for same-sex couples in 2023.
