While I agree with you about Religious Hypocrites, I don’t think you understand how this will be argued.

Although it is not required by federal law, employer policies may also protect employees from harassment or discrimination based on marital status or sexual orientation.

The Conservative Judges (I prefer to call them Judges vs. Justices as they make judgements they do not dispense justice) will argue that current law does not provide anti-discrimination protection for LBGTQ. That may be unjust but it is the state of current law.

It may come down to the definition of Sex. The way the laws are written discrimination based on Sex is illegal but the law is silent on Gender. I think that the Liberal Judges will argue that the intent of the law was to equate Sex with Gender as at the time the law was written the norm was they were equivalent. We all understand the point was to stop discrimination against women. If the intent of the law was to stop discrimination against LBGTQ then it would have been worded different and never would have passed Congress. I think the Conservative Judges are going to have a field day with this and you will not like the outcome.
