Several laws and policies are designed to protect against sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace. These include:
1. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: Prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Recent Supreme Court decisions have interpreted âsexâ to include sexual orientation and gender identity. 2. State and Local Laws: Many states and municipalities have additional protections that specifically address sexual orientation discrimination. 3. Healthcare Organization Policies: Many hospitals and healthcare facilities have internal policies that prohibit discrimination and promote diversity and inclusion.
