note-a-bear:blondiepoison:Laverne Coxattends the 71st Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California (September 22, 2019)The handbag was specially designed by Cox. It featured the LGBTQ rainbow on one side with lettering that reads “Oct 8, Title VII, Supreme Court.” On the other side, the flag of the transgender community is featured, with the hashtag #TRANSISBEAUTIFUL. The reference to the Supreme Court case draws awareness to a looming trial: on October 8, the Supreme Court will begin hearings to decide if anti-LGBTQ employment discrimination qualifies as sex discrimination. The case will also assess whether LGBTQ workers are protected by the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an act that “prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.” (vogue) -- source link
