We are providing here the original version of Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace which was voted upon by majority at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2024. This original guidance has since changed on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s public website in 2025.
On May 20, 2025, Acting Chair Andrea Lucas issued to the public a revised version of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s or Commission’s) Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace (Harassment Guidance or Guidance) that shaded out all references to harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Acting Chair was responding to a May 15, 2025, federal district court decision that Title VII does not encompass workplace harassment because of sexual orientation or gender identity, despite relevant Supreme Court precedent, and accordingly that all language in the Guidance about sexual orientation and gender identity was vacated (without specifically identifying it all).
-
This resource includes information about what EEOC litigators have filed in lawsuits and amicus curiae briefs in various courts addressing a multitude of issues related to workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
-
This resource shares select federal-sector cases involving gender identity followed by summaries of each case.
