The Supreme Court decided in June of 2020
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/17-1618_hfci.pdf that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which has long prohibited workplace discrimination on the basis of sex, also applies to gay and lesbian and transgender people facing workplace discrimination. And in June of 2015 the Supreme Court overturned the rather tortured DeBoer v Snyder decision from the 6th Circuit from the year previous in the Obergefell v Hodges case.
