Dallas Employment Trial Lawyer Rob Wiley
On May 15, 2025 a conservative judge struck down federal guidance protecting gay and transgender employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace. This is not normal or business as usual, this is a sledgehammer-style legal assault on our community. Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk’s opinion undoes decades of progress, declaring it legal to harass and bully workers who happen to be gay or trans. As a gay employment lawyer, I want to address what this means for us.
Employment discrimination against gay and trans people is real. We all have to have a job, and it’s all too common to have a co-worker or manager who resents having to work with someone who is gay or trans. That’s why this decision hits hard, it’s going to have a real impact on real life.
