Quizplus · Accepted Answer

National statutes in the United States, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, prohibit employment discrimination based on sex, race, national origin, religion, age, and disability, but federal law does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. However, the Supreme Court's decision in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020) interpreted Title VII to include sexual orientation and gender identity under "sex" discrimination.
