ACC NCR Summer Series: LGBT+ Employment Rights Confirmed in Landmark Ruling: What Does Bostock Mean for D.C. Region Employers?

Bostock v. Clayton County is now the law of the land. In this groundbreaking decision, the Supreme Court found that Title VII protects employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and transgender status as part of its ban on discrimination “because of” sex.

What does this decision mean for DMV employers, and what new questions are likely to percolate to the surface as a result? Join us for a review of pre-Bostock laws in this region, an explanation of Bostock, and a practical discussion about the next round of issues relating to workplace protection of LGBT individuals. What happens when religious accommodation and LGBT rights clash? What should an employer do when an employee plans to transition to a different gender? What are the latest tips to ensure sensitivity and inclusion of LGBT+ employees, and what about nonbinary and gender nonconforming workers?  This important discussion will guide your organization into the post-Bostock world.
Presented by Teresa Burke Wright, Principal at Jackson Lewis and Benjamin Lindorf, General Counsel at the Institute for Defense Analyses.
