The consideration of the issue back in 1979 appeared in a per curiam decision that ruled against the plaintiff on other grounds and dismissed the sexual orientation claim in a single sentence without further discussion. https://openjurist.org/597/f2d/936/blum-v-gulf-oil-corporation …pic.twitter.com/tkktXJNZnk
