Abstract

This essay explores the legal implications of workplace discrimination against the queer community in the United States, reviewing the legal historical regarding the legitimisation of non-binary gender identities and non-heterosexual sexual orientations. It analyses the consequences of evolving legal interpretations of the Supreme Court and the presidential executive order of the Trump administration protect—or fail to protect—queer individuals from systemic bias and unequal treatment. This essay further outlines common forms and causes of workplace discrimination targeting queer employees in the United States. Addressing this inequality, the essay specifies the responsibilities assigned to the government and individual forms to advocate for workplace equality of queer employees despite the conservative political circumstance. Through a critical evaluation of legal frameworks and real-world practices, this essay highlights the urgent need for the implementation of stronger, more inclusive protective measures to restore and advance for workplace equity for the queer community in the United States.
