This is an issue that will be coming up, big time, during Obama's last year in office, as to both gender identity and sexual orientation.

As I've been reporting, the Obama admin has signed on to the gender identity part of the EEOC rulings, but not the sexual orientation part.
-
Here was my latest report on the issue, about a Title VII case in the 11th Circuit:http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/federal-agency-urges-court-to-include-sexual-orientation-und#.jiLQnAv2E …

@chrisgeidner Correct me if I am wrong but the courts don't apply Chevron deference to the EEOC w/out new law anything so far means nothing -
@Neteshy It's not Chevron deference, but it is persuasive reasoning. More important, it ~is~ binding on fed agencies now. Additionally ... -
@Neteshy ... it is used within and throughout the EEOC, including within its field offices and in response to complaints. -
@Neteshy Not to mention, EEOC has authority to go into court with those claims, as it has, and to support other claims in ct, as it has. -
@Neteshy So, a far cry from "nothing." -
@Neteshy I've got prolly 50 or so reports on this issue at BuzzFeed if you give it a Google. -
@chrisgeidner Will do after some hw#lawschoolproblems
