Sex is interpreted to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

EDIT for you edit: "De jure" vs "De facto". Even if you interpreted it to not include sexual orientation, it would not hold in practice or court.
- gnicholas 9y agoThe EEOC interpretation is one of many (and only applies within the purview of the Employment Equal Opportunity Commission, so not here). As a counterpoint, the current administration's Dept. of Education is taking a different stance on this question. And neither SCOTUS nor any other binding authority has weighed in.
