      Keep in mind, Lynch/Holder supported trans coverage under Title VII but never went all the way on the sexual orientation argument.

      They had stopped opposing it, though, and were letting the EEOC do the heavy lifting.

      Clinton, in her LGBT position paper, said she would have supported sexual orientation and gender identity Title VII/IX coverage in court.

          Trump isn't even pretending to support the LGBT community. I'd rather a president who is posturing, than one who actively works against us.

          She can do "position papers" till the cows come home. Doesn't make the Civil Rights Act include sexual orientation.

          Whatever. But Sessions did not "do" anything to LGBT. He stated the law as it is now, until a court case goes to SCOTUS.

          The DOJ submitted an amicus against an independent exec. agency. EEOC is charged with implementation and interpretation of title 7.

          That didn't change "longstanding DOJ policy." The law didn't change. If Obama DOJ treated LGBT as covered under Title VII, they were wrong.
