  • US Supreme Court to decide if white, straight workers face higher bar in bias lawsuits

    The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether it should be more difficult for workers from "majority backgrounds," such as white or heterosexual people, to prove workplace discrimination claims. The justices took up an appeal by Marlean Ames, a heterosexual woman, seeking to revive her lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Youth Services in which she said she lost her job to a gay man and was passed over for a promotion in favor of a gay woman in violation of federal civil rights law. The Cincinnati, Ohio-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided last year that she had not shown the "background circumstances" that courts require to prove that she faced discrimination because she is straight, as she alleged.
