For Jameka Evans, the #SCOTUS decision not to take her case (& earlier 11th Cir decision not to go en banc) means that a 1979 ruling against gay people has controlled her per se sexual orientation discrimination case.

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
