The Supreme Court is taking up the case of an Ohio woman who claims she suffered sex discrimination in her employment because she is straight.

The Supreme Court is taking up the case of an Ohio woman who claims she suffered sex discrimination in her employment because she is straight.

The justices on Friday agreed to review an appellate ruling that upheld the dismissal of the discrimination lawsuit filed by the woman, Marlean Ames, against the Ohio Department of Youth Services. Arguments probably will take place early next year.

Ames, who has worked for the department for 20 years, contends she was passed over for a promotion and then demoted because she is heterosexual. Both the job she sought and the one she had held were given to LGBTQ people.

    Just because someone can’t demonstrate something doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

    That’s exactly my point about whether or not she’s an asshole. Moreover, the outcome of the legal proceedings don’t depend on whether anyone can prove it.

    But the outcome of the legal proceedings are entirely dependent on whether she can prove her assertion.

    You disagree with my assessment because you are misinterpreting it.

    if she’s conflating her orientation class with her just being a fucking asshole she should lose.

    How would one show that in a court room?

    no one is required to do so for this court room event, and hence:

    Doesn’t really matter, either she can prove her case or she can’t.
