Supreme Court Reviews 'Reverse Discrimination' Case on Workplace Bias Standards

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services, where Marlean Ames claims she faced workplace discrimination because she is straight after experiencing demotion and a pay cut due to her heterosexuality.
Ames argues that her treatment is in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The outcome of the case may shape future discrimination laws regarding sexual orientation and could lead to more claims from employees of all backgrounds.
Advocates caution that a ruling in favor of Ames could dilute protections for historically marginalized groups, raising fears of increased workplace litigation.
