The Supreme Court will hear arguments today on whether the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids employers from firing people because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Under President Trump, the Justice Department will argue that the law should not cover gay, lesbian and transgender workers. http://lat.ms/2p8aOCj
