Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary The data and code accompanying the article "Knowledge About Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Protections on the Basis of Sexual Orientation" can be found in this depository. In this paper, using a US nationally representative online sample, we measure the level of knowledge on employment non-discrimination laws. Although Americans are well informed about sex, race, or disability being protected characteristics, only about 71 percent think that sexual orientation is a protected characteristic. Sexual minorities are as uninformed as heterosexual individuals that sexual orientation is legally protected from employment discrimination. Furthermore, sexual minorities living in states that did not previously have statewide employment non-discrimination protections prior to the 2020 Supreme Court ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County are less likely to think sexual orientation is a protected characteristic.
