IN THE NEWS----CHRISTIAN EMPLOYERS CANNOT BE FORCED TO COVER GENDER TRANSITIONS, JUDGE RULES

Clayton County in 2020 that sexual orientation and gender identity are included in employment anti-discrimination protections.  MORE AT Christian employers cannot be forced to cover gender transitions, judge rules - Washington Examiner
