Description
In this rapid-response episode, Thomas and Andrew discuss the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals' <em>en banc</em> decision in <em>Zarda v. Altitude Express</em>, ruling that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964's ban on discrimination on the basis of sex applies to sexual orientation as well. This is a follow-up to our prior discussions of this issue back in <a href= "https://openargs.com/oa60-sex-sexual-orientation/">Episode 60</a> and <a href= "https://openargs.com/oa91-sex-also-asset-forfeiture/">Episode 91</a>.

After the main discussion of <em>Zarda</em>, the guys discuss some of the fallout from the Parkland shooting, including decisions by Dick's Sporting Goods and Wal-Mart to cease certain kinds of gun sales. Is this inappropriate age discrimination? Listen and find out! Finally, we end with an all-new TTTBE #65 about vegan criminal law. You won't want to miss it!
