Oh boy, the homosexuals feelings are hurt! On Friday, May 16. 2025, the homosexual supporting New Republic ran this headline, “Trump Judge Rules It’s OK to Discriminate Against LGBTQ People.”
A MAGA judge in Texas has issued a sweeping ruling that destroys workplace discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people in the United States.
Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who holds a reputation for being a far-right activist judge, declared that while Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not protect LGBTQ people from workplace harassment based on their sexual or gender orientation. The case was brought forth by the Heritage Foundation, a far-right, culturally conservative organization that heavily influenced the writings and goals of Project 2025.
Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, specifically targeted transgender people in his ruling, stating that they had to simply deal with any kind of discriminatory treatment in their workplace. He deduced that “a male employee must use male facilities like other males,” an assertion that completely invalidates transgender identity in its entirety rather than actually acknowledging the issues they face at work. Kacsmaryk even went so far as to order federal employment policy to remove“all language defining ‘sex’ in Title VII to include ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity.”.
This all directly contradicts the Supreme Court’s 2020 Bostock v. Clayton County ruling, which stated plainly that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from identity-based firing and harassment.
Kacsmaryk is not new to this. He has been referred to as the “go-to jurist” for right wingers looking for judicial validation for cruel, oppressive, and deeply culturally conservative policy. He attacked LGBTQ protections in the Affordable Care Act, suspended FDA approval of the live-saving abortion pill mifepristone, and tried (and failed) to make Planned Parenthood pay $2 billion to Texas and Louisiana on the grounds that they were “defrauding” Medicaid. This is yet another coordinated attack from the right intended to erode hard fought social justice victories.
“We live in a White, Christian country, and as far as I’m concerned, our lawmakers should be just that, White, and Christian.” said Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, centrally based in Harrison, Arkansas. “If America was governed the way our forefathers intended, homosexuals wouldn’t even be allowed citizenship, if even allowed to visit in America. Regardless of what nonsense radicals claim, this I’m sure would be true. Everyone is expected to not only tolerate homosexuals in America, we’re also expected to bow down to them if they somehow feel less equal to White, Christians. When I was a child if a male classmate would have shown up to school in a dress, wearing make up and painted fingernails, they would’ve expected to be made fun of, and would’ve been shown how to be a man in the playground at recess. Now I’m not saying to go out and beat up homosexuals, but we can at least speak with our governing officials and express our distain for such actions in our White, Christian America. If enough White, Christians would have stood up against this as soon as it became so prevalent in our society we wouldn’t be dealing with such issues as men in women’s sports, men in women’s restrooms, and men in women’s lockerooms, and we wouldn’t see the deviants out in public. My thoughts are this, if you’re a man wearing a dress, expect to be made fun of, and vice-versa. In a Christian country, homosexuals shouldn’t have any protections. They sure won’t in God’s coming kingdom.”
