Andrew J. Schatkin

Academicus International Scientific Journal, 2020, issue 22, 123-126

Abstract: The article considers the issue of what is sex and sexual orientation discrimination and� should under the federal statute 2000 Esexual orientation be encompassed under the term�sex. The statute has�long been intrepreted�as directed�to physical sex and not read as including sex orientation as an aspect of sex. The article however traces and identifies a clear trend in the federal court system of the United States to interpreting� and� includng�sexual orientation or homosexuality and lesbianism within this statute�s prohibition against traditional sex discrimimation. The author holds the view� that homosexuality and sexual orientation should be given the same and equal protection as sex discrimimation in the federal courts of the United States and in time this statute will rightly be interpreted not only to include sex discriminataion as directed in its tradidtional understanding but be analayzed and interpreted to include protection against sexual orientation discrimination.
