An executive order guarding individuals working for federal contractors against discrimination centered on sexual orientation or gender identity would have an astonishing impact in facilitating elimination of
discrimination within organizations that receive public funding.

When supplemented by the legal defenses currently afforded to federal workers and for employees in states and cities with LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination statutes, an executive order directed at federal contractors will result in more than fifty percent of the American workforce possessing lawfully mandatory protections against discrimination
founded upon sexual orientation or gender identity.
