State Assembly Representative Mark Spreitzer of Beloit is applauding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision affirming workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is illegal. Spreitzer says in 1982, Wisconsin became the first state to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, but has not yet passed legislation to add gender identity to the list of protected classes. The Democrat says the high court’s decision may specifically address discrimination in the workplace, but the basis may have legal implications for other forms of discrimination including health care, housing, and more.
