Is sexual orientation covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also?
No, this protection is afforded by Executive Order 13087 and is included in Departmental policy. This means that appeal rights to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are not afforded. In addition, complaints based on sexual orientation cannot be the subject of a hearing before an Administrative Judge of the EEOC.
