Legal & Constitutional Grounding

Bostock (2020) requires federal nondiscrimination protections; anti-LGBTQ+ riders contradict equal protection requirements.

Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. 644 (2020) — Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity
  • U.S. Const. amend. XIV — Equal Protection Clause

DHS appropriations restriction on LGBTQ+ policies. Restricting LGBTQ+ protections in federal agencies contradicts Bostock and documented equal protection requirements.
