Cuomo Cheers SCOTUS Decision as 'Stunning Defeat' for the Trump Admin, Declares LGBTQ Community 'Will Not Be Safe' Without Further Congressional Action

CNN host Chris Cuomo closed Monday's edition of Cuomo Prime Time by highlighting the Supreme Court's decision declaring that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act "doesn't just make it illegal for employers to discriminate because of a person's sex. It also forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity." While Cuomo cheered the decision as a "stunning defeat for the Trump administration, he complained that it was still not enough. According to Cuomo, "until Congress protects this slice of America, they will not be safe." When tossing it over to CNN Tonight host Don Lemon, Cuomo warned that "until Congress acts," the "obsession with the other" will lead to further hardships for the LGBT community: "They need the law of Title VII, federal protection, to extend to the community. Until it does, we'll have to do this case by case...Next, it will be adoption. Then it will be about financing. Then it will be about something else. Until you give them protection for all of it, they don't have any of it; unless you go case by case."
