February 2025
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Thursday filed a joint motion to dismiss its case against Harmony Hospitality LLC, which operates a Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel in Dothan, Alabama, just eight months after the agency sued the company over its firing of an employee who identifies as nonbinary male and gay.
The employee worked for Harmony Hospitality as a night auditor and "styled himself in conformity with male gender stereotypes" at work, according to the EEOC's original lawsuit.
But when he was called in for a meeting outside of working hours, he wore "capri-cut joggers, pink-painted nails, and box braids."
Upon learning about the employee's gender identity and sexual orientation, Harmony Hospitality's co-owner said the employee needed to be "hidden" because of his appearance, and seven hours later, he was fired via text message, the lawsuit alleges.
The complaint accuses Harmony Hospitality of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by terminating the employee "because of his sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and failure to adhere to male gender stereotypes."
The EEOC's request to now dismiss the case marks a major departure from its prior interpretation of civil rights law after the Trump administration declared that the government would recognize only two sexes: male and female.
That's in stark contrast to a decade ago when the agency issued a landmark finding that a transgender civilian employee of the U.S. Army had been discriminated against because her employer refused to use her preferred pronouns or allow her to use bathrooms based on her gender identity.
