美国最高法院批准对同性恋、变性人工人的保护

美国最高法院周一宣布了LGBT权利的决定性胜利，这一项里程碑式的联邦法律里禁止工作场所歧视，保护同性恋和变性人员工。这项6比3的裁决是自2015年最高法院在全国范围内将同性婚姻合法化以来，美国LGBT权利的最重要时刻。在新的裁决中，法官们决定，同性恋和变性人受到1964年民权法案第七章的保护，该法案禁止雇主基于性别、种族、肤色、国籍和宗教歧视员工。在美国大部分地区，工作场所对同性恋和变性人员工的偏见仍然是合法的，美国有28个州缺乏全面的反就业歧视措施。

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declared a decisive victory for LGBT rights in a landmark federal law that bans workplace discrimination and protects gay, lesbian, and transgender workers. The 6-3 ruling is the most important moment for LGBT rights in the United States since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. In the new ruling, the justices decided that gay and transgender people are protected by Chapter 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin and religion. Workplace bias against gay and transgender workers is still legal in most of the United States, and 28 states lack comprehensive employment discrimination measures.  source
