September 10, 2019, 2019 - Atlanta - Gerald Lynn Bostock, photographed during an interview in his home. The case of former Clayton County child welfare official Gerald Lynn Bostock is among three the Supreme Court is set to examine. The U.S. Supreme Court will consider a metro-Atlanta case as it weighs whether gay, lesbian and transgender workers are protected under federal anti-discrimination laws. In what could be a landmark ruling, the high court will decide whether Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extends workplace protections to members of the LGBT community.
