Merkley, Baldwin, Booker y Cicilline son los principales patrocinadores de la Ley de Igualdad, legislaci\u00f3n que codificar\u00eda y ampliar\u00eda las protecciones contra la discriminaci\u00f3n para los estadounidenses LGBT y otros a nivel federal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMientras el Congreso intenta codificar, actualizar y expandir las protecciones de los derechos civiles para todos los estadounidenses LGBT, los tribunales contin\u00faan desempe\u00f1ando un papel vital al aplicar la ley en casos individuales\u201d, escribieron en el escrito. \u201cDe hecho, los casos hist\u00f3ricos de la Corte Suprema de <i>Windsor<\/i> y <i>Obergefell<\/i> demostr\u00f3 el importante papel del poder judicial como una rama coigual con el deber de proteger los derechos civiles. El poder judicial tiene el mismo inter\u00e9s en el estado de derecho y en defender el derecho legal de un empleado a un lugar de trabajo libre de discriminaci\u00f3n proscrita.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kimberly Hively, la demandante en el caso, era una ex instructora en Ivy Tech Community College en Indiana a quien se le neg\u00f3 trabajo de tiempo completo y promociones en la universidad porque era lesbiana. Hively demand\u00f3 por discriminaci\u00f3n laboral, pero el S\u00e9ptimo Circuito dictamin\u00f3 recientemente que la Ley de Derechos Civiles no proteg\u00eda a Hively de la discriminaci\u00f3n anti-LGBT en su trabajo porque la orientaci\u00f3n sexual y la identidad de g\u00e9nero no se mencionan expl\u00edcitamente en la Ley de Derechos Civiles como atributos protegidos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Los miembros se\u00f1alaron que la discriminaci\u00f3n anti-LGBT es en s\u00ed misma una forma de discriminaci\u00f3n sexual, que est\u00e1 cubierta por el T\u00edtulo VII de la Ley de Derechos Civiles, ya que la discriminaci\u00f3n por orientaci\u00f3n sexual e identidad de g\u00e9nero est\u00e1 inherentemente vinculada a los estereotipos sexuales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Una copia del resumen completo est\u00e1 disponible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/imo\/media\/doc\/Hively%20Amicus%20file%20stamped.pdf\/\"><span class=\"s2\">aqu\u00ed<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash; A group of leading Members of Congress has filed an amicus brief in the case of Hively v.
