EEOC's Stance on LGBTQ+ Antidiscrimination Laws
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has stated that advocates cannot force the agency to enforce LGBTQ+ antidiscrimination laws.
A recent legal filing revealed that the EEOC's decision to withdraw from lawsuits related to gender identity discrimination is not subject to judicial review.
President Donald Trump's Jan. 20 executive order directed federal agencies to combat "gender ideology extremism,"
This order led to the EEOC's withdrawal from lawsuits on behalf of transgender plaintiffs, citing potential inconsistency with continued litigation. Advocacy groups, such as FreeState Justice, have filed to intervene in some cases and are targeting alleged declined enforcement reversals.
Author's summary: EEOC defends its decision to withdraw from LGBTQ+ discrimination lawsuits.
- EEOC's decision is insulated from judicial review
