| Federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is known for making rulings conveniently unfavorable to LGBTQ people. The recent ruling against drag shows is the latest. |
From last year:
(Kacsmaryk has) become the go-to jurist for plaintiffs looking to turn extremist ideology into binding precedent. He’s the one who tried to revoke FDA approval of mifepristone, a safe and widely used abortion medication. He’s ruled against LGBTQ+ protections in the Affordable Care Act. He even tried to force Planned Parenthood to pay $2 billion to Texas and Louisiana—a ruling so outrageous that even the deeply conservative Fifth Circuit tossed it. Now, he’s taking aim at Title VII itself, effectively inviting employers to harass and discriminate against LGBTQ+ workers by pretending Bostock never happened.
(Editor's note - Bostock is the 2020 SCOTUS ruling which said the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ people from employment discrimination.)
From 2023:
(Editor's note - The irony is that I'm willing to bet that if a ban on "blackface" came in front of Kacsmaryk's court, he would defend "blackface" as a matter of free speech.)
