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?

Favor 84%16% Oppose

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.

[Require that transgender athletes compete on teams that match the sex they were assigned at birth, not the gender they identify with] Which of the following proposals would you favor and which would you oppose?

Favor 73%27% Oppose

Wording notes: uses 'the sex they were assigned at birth' | restrictive alternative is the only one stated | four-point version of the same proposal asked as a two-point item in March and July 2023

neutral — Same proposal as the two-point trend, asked here with strength of opinion; only the restrictive proposal is described.
