Up until a few years ago, many employment law experts could confidently state that Title VII did not cover the LGBTQ community.  Both the courts and the EEOC were in agreement on this issue.  The EEOC then changed its position opining that Title VII’s prohibition against sex discrimination encompassed the LGBTQ community.  Some courts accepted the EEOC’s position while many did not.  In 2020, however, the Supreme Court finally settled the debate and agreed with the EEOC.  Of course, this development has created a number of issues for employers to consider.  

In this webinar, we will cover:

  • LGBTQ status and legal protections
  • What if your company or employees have religious objections?
  • What the Supreme Court’s decision means to your organization.
  • Avoiding Sexual Stereotyping
  • Best practices, including policies and procedures

This was a very disappointing training. It seemed fairly evident that the trainer was not comfortable presenting on the topic, as she stated that she just recently found out what an "ally" is, and also used language that was outdated and hurtful to the community that she was presenting about. The trainer also referred to this as being a new topic and compared it to COVID at one point in a weird reference... I am an HR Manager in the state of Washington, and I will acknowledge that we are a very progressive state here; however, even when I was working in the same field Nebraska three years ago, (a much less progressive state where I was born and raised), this was not new information or a new topic. I understand that everyone is on their own equity journey, but the ad for this training was a misrepresentation and should have been presented as a foundational or basics training around the EEOC and LGBTQ+ rights at best. Also, please try to choose trainers who can use language that will propel the equality and inclusion movements forward rather that referring to people as "the lesbians", "transgenders" or stating that she didn't like the word "queer". Gender Queer is an identity. I was not sent the survey, so I had my co-worker forward me hers.- Kindly, Rebecca Miljavac, she/her/hers

Presenter should be unbiased and not bring her political opinions to her presentation. This was the worst presentation I have listened to by far.
