Also on his first day in office, President Biden signed Executive Order 13988 that establishes a national policy of equal treatment based on sexual orientation and gender
identity consistent with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. The E.O. also instructs federal agencies to examine all
regulations and policies preventing discrimination based on sex to ensure they
are consistent with this new policy, unless there is a contrary indication in
federal law.
