Hope this wasn't posted already.

A lot of people on the other side think the laws have gone way over board in disadvantaging men or straights or whites etc and favored the DEI

This sort of ( unanimous) court ruling is like the sound a dam makes right before it implodes and the biblical floods start to flow. This is also what losing looks like. This is what the future looks like.

So they're just changing the standards - it doesn't sound like they ruled in favor of this woman's case - which seemed circumstantial and with no evidence that there was a pro-gay bias in hiring.

I remember reading about this case before - she was an admin that had been promoted up to a higher manager role for some reason but was put down back into her admin role again.

R2 does changing the standards mean that 100,000s can now be more likely to sue?

R3 - I'm not an attorney - but in any discrimination case, you'd have to show direct intent and evidence. I don't think many of those cases can be proven - just like regular discrimination against POC, gays, etc. are very hard to prove.

I think we've all been at companies where people only go so far and it feels like bias. HR will back up any decision and bring out performance records to justify anything.

And let's face it - how often have we seen gays being hired over straight people consistently? This woman's case was not proven and it's so far reaching - just because two of the people were gay doesn't mean that the hiring was biased towards gay people. Especially in Ohio of all places.
