JUST IN: Supreme Court will hear three high-profile cases involving employment discrimination against LGBT Americans, determining whether federal civil rights protections extend to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., is pictured on March 15, 2019.
A Georgia man, who alleges he was fired as a child welfare services coordinator because is gay, lost his legal challenge against Clayton County, Georgia, in the Eleventh Circuit, which said sexual orientation is not a protected class. In a third case out of Michigan, a transgender woman who was fired by the funeral home where she worked alleges employers penalized her on the basis of gender identity. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in her favor.
