Reports (5)
- Other "No info about the Interstate Highway Act in the linked article."
- Status is not correct "Not cancelled by interstate highways act?"
- Status is not correct "IHA has nothing to do with it; regardless, SCOTUS ruling supersedes state laws.
Status needed: sexual orientation and gender identity, date consistent with Bostock ruling"
- Status is not correct "Employment discrimination protection for orientation and identity is in every US state"
- Status is not correct "not how the law itself works. It blocks additional protections on county level. Federal protections still apply"
