Third Circuit Allows Gay Plaintiffs to Bring Sex Stereotyping Suit under Title VII

On August 28, a unanimous Third Circuit Court of Appeals, in Prowel v. Wise Business Forms, Inc., 2009 WL 2634646 (3d Cir. Aug. 28, 2009), held that there was sufficient ambiguity as to whether Prowel, the plaintiff, suffered discrimination based on his homosexuality or his effeminacy to send the case to trial. New York Law School's September 2009 issue of Lesbian/Gay Law Notes has a great article explaining this case, as well as many other recent LGBT legal events.
