The scope of the law is probably commensurate the scope of the employment policy in question — i.e. for a nationwide company, the scope might be applied nationally. For a local mom-and-pop shop, it might apply locally.
All that being said, I'm pretty sure there is no locality on the planet where half the population is LGBTQ (not sure where you found that Palm Springs claim). As of 2015, the metropolitan area with the highest rate of LGBTQ residents was San Francisco, at 6.2% [1].

- basch 6y agoYeah I dont believe it, its a platitude thats been repeated, BUT, 10.7% of households identify as same sex in the census. http://web.archive.org/web/20181205015304/https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Census2010Snapshot_California_v2.pdf http://web.archive.org/web/20181205015304/https://williamsin...
- bhupy 6y agoYes, and also worth mentioning that this ruling really only impacts a subset of states. There already exists state laws that explicitly outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual preference / gender identity, California being one of them [1]. Per the map, this ruling really only affects a subset of states where the disparate impact of your hypothetical law would be pretty clear cut, regardless of scope.

- JamesBarney 6y agoI think you misread that pdf. The highest % of same sex couple is in San Francisco at 3%.
