Texas Values Opposes ACLU Efforts to Redefine Sex at U.S. Supreme Court This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Harris Funeral Homes v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a case with potential far-reaching impact for people of faith and for the protection of women. The case revolves around a family owned business, Harris Funeral Homes, which has been operating for 100 years in Michigan. Harris Funeral Homes declined to allow a male funeral director to violate the company’s sex-specific dress code by dressing and presenting as a woman when working with its clients. Texas Values has signed on to a legal amicus brief for this case filed at the U.S. Supreme Court. Unelected federal bureaucrats, and now the ACLU, are trying to use this case to convince courts to rewrite the meaning of “sex” and redefine it to “gender identity.” Allowing the ACLU to redefine “sex” to mean “gender identity” would create chaos in the law, is unfair to women and girls in sports, and would result in the government punishing people for using the wrong ‘pronoun.’ Further, no business owner should be punished for relying on existing laws. If the U.S. Supreme Court rules against this private funeral home our state could be forced to comply with this rewrite, which would gut the First Amendment. | |
