Court rules Gov. Edwards can't protect LGBT workers from discrimination
A Louisiana appeals court ruling has sided with state Attorney General Jeff Landry, who challenged a 2016 executive order from Gov. John Bel Edwards that bans*discrimination against LGBT people in government and state contracts.
