Buzzfeed: A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected a woman’s
claim that existing civil rights law protects against sexual orientation
discrimination — ruling that only the Supreme Court or Congress can
make that the law.
“Kimberly Hively has failed to state a claim
under Title VII [of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for sex
discrimination,” the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals held in its decision
in Hively’s appeals. “[H]er claim is solely for sexual orientation
discrimination which is beyond the scope of the statute.”
