The Supreme Court is considering a case of “reverse discrimination” and the standard of proof under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Supreme Court appeared virtually certain to side with an Ohio woman who lost a “reverse discrimination” suit against her employer when her gay boss declined to promote her, a decision that will likely make it easier for some White and straight employees to win similar claims.

Marlean Ames is seeking to revive her lawsuit alleging her employer engaged in reverse discrimination when she was denied a promotion and then demoted.
