While there is no federal law explicitly prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, some states and local jurisdictions have enacted laws protecting LGBT individuals from employment discrimination. Therefore, most statutory influence regarding sexual orientation as a protected segment of equal employment rests within local or state law. The EEOC has issued guidance stating that discrimination against an individual because of their sexual orientation is sex discrimination and therefore violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but this guidance does not have the power of law. The most recent amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not address sexual orientation as a protected characteristic.
