Clayton County was a huge victory for LGBT+ rights in the United States. More than any other Supreme Court case in history, the Bostock decision made it clear that if an employer was going to discriminate against an employee based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, they would be breaking the law. The Clayton County Board of Commissioners ultimately paid Gerald Bostock $825,000 in damages for his wrongful termination.

I just watched and it's good... though I wonder if it would be decided in the same manner today. That said, I've been wanting to report that I was able to get a copy of "The Power of Our Supreme Court" from our state library network and enjoyed it enough to buy a copy. Your summaries of the individual cases are well done, but the rest is particularly worthwhile. Bravo!

Jakob Birnbaum

Once again fantastic video, surprised a conservative justice like Gorsuch would vote with the liberal justices in a case such as this. I do have a question though 1. Did the justices in the dissent vote the way they did because gay rights weren't specifically listed in the Civil Rights Act It's a great video, so sorry that this series gets less attention because it's one of my favorite series. Happy Election Day

I'll never forget first hearing that Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for this case. It definitely caught me off guard at the time. To answer your question, yep. The dissent argued the same has the Appeals Court before it- applying sexual orientation and gender identity to Civil Rights Act employment protections was a too loose of interpretation in their minds. Happy Election to you, too.

I wasn’t aware of this case. I am sure it is one of your more polarizing videos out there. Thank you for bringing much need attention to cases like these in an objective fashion. I was actually surprised by the 6-3 ruling. Every once in a while the Supreme Court makes the right call. Have you ever considered a series of videos examining the justices and how their rulings on cases have evolved ideologically during their tenure on the court? As always thank you for the great content !

Matt Beat

Yes I have! Especially with someone like David Souter. Thanks for the comment, Nate. I hope you are doing well.
