Amici Support Ohio Agency’s Arguments In High Court Sexual Orientation Bias Case

( February 3, 2025, 9:18 AM EST) -- WASHINGTON, D. C. — A civil rights group and others filed the second amicus brief in the U. S. Supreme Court supporting the position of an Ohio agency as respondent in a sexual orientation bias case; the agency argues that employees who allege bias must show “a causal nexus between a protected characteristic and an adverse employment decision” but disputes the argument by the petitioner that the Sixth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals ruled that majority group plaintiffs are held to a higher burden than that placed on minority plaintiffs. . . .
