Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (GLBT) – USDA has
included a prohibition against sexual orientation discrimination in its Civil
Rights Policy Statement since 1993. While the avenues of redress differ from
those available under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order
13078 issued on May 28, 1998, provides a uniform Federal government policy to
prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation.
