DETROIT —
A Detroit-area woman who was fired by a funeral home after she no longer wanted to be recognized as a man died Tuesday before the U. S. Supreme Court could rule on whether federal civil rights law protects transgender people.
Aimee Stephens’ death was announced by the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented her in a lawsuit against R. G. and G. R. Harris Funeral Home.
Stephens, 59, had kidney disease and was in hospice care. She was in a wheelchair when the court heard arguments last fall.
