The Trump administration wants the U-S Supreme Court to decide how certain matters affecting the L-G-B-T-Q community should be handled. Bobcat Update's Dalton Williams has the story.

The Trump administration has filed three cases within the past year affecting L-G-B-T-Q workers. At issue is whether it should be legal for businesses to fire workers based on their sexual preferences. Title Seven is a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender -- male or female. However, the law does NOT directly address L-G-B-T-Q concerns. There's fear that the clear conservative majority on the nation's high court will not be sympathetic.

Texas State Senior Shannan Robinson says she's concerned.

Media Law Professor Abby Chiodo Gray says if even the Supreme Court rules against the L-G-B-T-Q community, Congress could effectively address the issue. She says there's still the possibility that legislation could be enacted that includes more expansive language aimed at curbing discrimination against the L-G-B-T-Q community.
