For those who followed earlier WHMBR! threads, including Part 5, like I've been, you've probably been waiting to see how the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) was going to rule on discrimination of homosexual and transgender employees in the workplace, hence making peoples sexual desires and gender identity protected under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. I speculated that President Donald Trump's two SCOTUS picks Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, would be deciding votes in promoting the homosexual agenda, as rainbow flag waver Donald Trump didn't pick them for their conservative stance on these issues.

Justice Neil Gorsuch's majority decision offers a textualist argument for the ruling.

Without a doubt this will cover more than just protection for morally lost people with same sex desires and gender confusion in the workplace, as they are now protected under the 1964 Civil Rights Act and discrimination (or perceived discrimination) against anyone that identifies as such will now be a federal hate crime.
Justice Neil Gorsuch's majority decision offers a textualist argument for the ruling.
Discriminating against an employee for being gay or transgender violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Supreme Court ruled Monday in a 6–3 decision.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority decision, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex," Gorsuch argued. "Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids."
Title VII of the law forbids discrimination on the basis of sex; the heart of the dispute was what exactly that means. The three cases the court considered—Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia; Altitude Express v. Zarda; and Harris Funeral Homes v. the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission—revolved around two cisgender men and one transgender woman who claimed they were fired from their jobs for being either gay or trans.
