EEOC filed a joint motion to dismiss its case against Harmony Hospitality LLC, which operates a Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel in Dothan , Alabama , just eight months after the agency sued the company over its firing of an employee who identifies as nonbinary male and gay.

The EEOC 's request to now dismiss the case marks a major departure from its prior interpretation of civil rights law after the Trump administration declared that the government would recognize only two sexes: male and female.

The EEOC cites compliance guidance from the Office of Personnel Management on Trump's executive order as the reason behind its decision.

The company denied the original allegations of discrimination in the EEOC ’s lawsuit and said the plaintiff was “separated from employment” based on “reasonable, legitimate factors,” the company did not specify the reasons.
