| Description | State law protects individuals from employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation only. Select municipalities may offer full anti-discrimination protections. While employment discrimination based on gender identity has formally been illegal nationwide since Bostock v. Clayton County, a federal investigator told a transgender man in June 2026 that the EEOC is no longer "permitted to conduct/continue any investigation regarding transgender cases, and that is coming from the chain of command." |
