On Wednesday’s Houston Matters: A federal court ruling says LGBT workers in Texas cannot be discriminated against under Title Seven. The recent decision in Houston is a first for the Lone Star State. What does it mean for LGBT employees going forward? We find out.

Then: This Saturday, Houston Public Media will broadcast its annual Spelling Bee on TV 8, in which the area's best 12 to 14-year-old spellers will compete for a chance to represent the Houston region in this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee.
