No, Debbie, Title VII does NOT prohibit sexual orientation discrimination in employment. Hello?
Wishing doesn't make it so: despite Anchorage Assembly Chair Debbie Ossiander's contention that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 covers sexual orientation discrimination, federal case law consistently shows that it does not. Here's more proof, with a recent 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals case which found that an effeminate gay man in Pennsylvania (but not actually Emmett Honeycutt) laid off from his job had recourse under Title VII for discrimination based on gender role stereotyping, but not for sexual orientation.
