03:59 AM EDT Approx. 1 hr. 50 min. Zarda v. Altitude Express Oral Argument The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City ruled 10-3 in Zarda v. Altitude Express that ... The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City ruled 10-3 in Zarda v. Altitude Express that federal law protects against sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace. That federal law is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act which protects employees from discrimination based on sex, race, color, national origin and religion. According to the court's ruling sexual orientation is a subset of sex discrimination and therefore is prohibited. They cited several reasons as to how they reached this decision including the use of a comparative test and analyzing gender stereotyping. This case goes back to 2010, when Donald Zarda, a sky diving instructor with Altitude Express filed a lawsuit alleging that he was fired because of his sexual orientation after he revealed to a client that he was gay. Mr. Zarda passed away in 2014. His estate continued on with the suit. The court heard oral argument on September 26, 2017.
