Overview/Description
The US Supreme Court's 2020 decision in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The court’s ruling affirmed a policy that had for some time been adopted by many employers – that members of the LGBTQ+ community are entitled to the same protections against discrimination and harassment as other workers. This course is designed to help build awareness of the legal protections afforded LGBTQ+ employees and the benefits to the organization of avoiding discrimination and harassment.
