Why Roberts, Gorsuch Voted With Liberals on LGBT Case | RealClearPolitics
In a ruling that surprised many, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday held that the 1964 Civil Rights Act s bar on discrimination because of sex also prohibits discrimination because of sexual orientation or being transgender. It also surprised some observers that this was a 6-3 decision, authored by conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts. It should not have been surprising, however. I have three thoughts on this.
