US Supreme Court sent 'clear message' with decision protecting LGBTQ rights in the workplace, plaintiff Gerald Bostock says. “I had faith in the system, and I had faith that the justices would do the right thing.'
And so, Bostock’s legal odyssey is not over yet. Now that he has won, Bostock said his “priority” is heading back to court to reopen the wrongful termination suit that started this journey: “I will get to move forward with my case against Clayton County.”
“All I wanted from the beginning was to have my day in court,” Bostock told Guthrie."This is the moment I've been waiting for for seven years."Monday’s decision, Bostock said, “underscores, given everything going on in our country today, that we still have more work to do.” He said he hopes his Supreme Court victory — which he acknowledged happened amid “dark days” as protests against racism and police brutality persist across the country — will “put a little bit of sunshine out there.”
“I will lend my voice to those efforts to make sure everyone is treated equally,” he said. “There is no room in this world for discrimination or racism.”
