The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear
an appeal by a Georgia security guard who said she was harassed and
forced from her job because she is a lesbian, avoiding an opportunity to

discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The
justices left in place a lower court ruling against Jameka Evans, who

Title VII of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Workplace
protections are a major source of concern for advocates of rights for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
