The US supreme court justices on Wednesday appeared to lean toward making it easier for people from “majority backgrounds”, such as white or heterosexual people, to pursue workplace-discrimination claims, as they heard an appeal by an Ohio woman who claims she was denied a promotion and demoted because she is heterosexual.
The court heard oral arguments in a case that has the potential to transform workplace-discrimination claims and unleash a flood of lawsuits from white people, straight people and men.
