Questions asked (2)
Bostock v. Clayton County - workplace protections for gay and transgender workers
In 2020 the Supreme Court ruled that a federal civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination. How much do you favor or oppose this decision?
Wording notes: bundles sexual orientation and gender identity into one item | describes an existing Court holding rather than an abstract policy
neutral — Neutral description of the holding; 'favor or oppose this decision' is symmetric. Because gay and transgender workers are bundled, the item cannot isolate attitudes toward gender identity alone.
perceived direction of Supreme Court rulings on LGBT people's rights over 15 years
[Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people] Over the past 15 years or so would you say the Supreme Court has generally expanded or reduced the rights protected for each of these groups or has it not changed much either way?
Expanded rights
60%
Reduced rights
21%
Has not changed much either way
19%
Wording notes: group label explicitly includes transgender people | item is about perception of the Court, not the respondent's own policy view
neutral — Balanced three-way perception item; expanded/reduced alternatives are both offered with an explicit middle option.
