Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have statutes prohibiting discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation.

This report reviewed these state statutes and provided information on their characteristics, coverage and exclusions. It also reported the number of administrative employment discrimination complaints filed in each state as reported by the states -- both the total number of complaints and the number of complaints listing sexual orientation or gender identity as one of the claimed bases for discrimination.
