An employment discrimination case from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit is in the mix for review in the next term when the U.S. Supreme Court considers LGBT rights.
The high court agreed Monday to decide whether the nation's major workplace anti-bias law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and transgender status.
The cases, closely watched by employers, consumers, civil rights groups, conservative and religious organizations, will draw the high court back into the culture wars during the 2020 presidential campaign.
