Supreme Court Signals Backing for Straight Woman’s Bias Suit

The US Supreme Court signaled it will revive a job-bias lawsuit by a straight woman and make it easier in some parts of the country for members of so-called “majority groups” to get to a jury with discrimination claims.

Hearing arguments Wednesday, justices from across the ideological spectrum cast doubt on lower court rulings that require majority workers — including White people and men — to meet a more difficult legal test than members of groups that have historically faced discrimination.
