A Georgia county has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by a man whose case was one of three that led to a Supreme Court ruling that said civil rights law protects LGBTQ people from discrimination in employment.
. The federal appeals court cited binding precedent that said the 1964 civil rights law doesn’t protect against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The county argued his dismissal was based on an audit of funds he managed. He was fired in June 2013 “for Conduct Unbecoming of a Clayton County Employee.”
