People can still be kicked off juries for being LGBTQ+. This out congresswoman's bill would end that

Pretty much. Both sides go back and forth.
If you never been in jury duty, both sides look at the selected jurors (sometimes 20-40 ppl) and their goal is to shave it to a smaller number, like 12.
Wear gauges? Have purple hair? Be a person of color?
If you don't fit a specific profile to help them win... You're gone.
During one of the selected cases where I was part of being selected, they absolutely asked you questions about your job and family, to get a sense of your background.
