The Supreme Court appears poised to issue a ruling in favor of a straight woman's discrimination case, reversing a lower court's decision that required a higher burden of proof.

Marlean Ames has alleged she was wrongly passed over for promotion in favor of a lesbian and then demoted in favor of a gay man.

The Supreme Court is considering a case of “reverse discrimination” and the standard of proof under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
