The Environmental Protection Agency is asking all its employees whether they are straight, gay, or “something else” in an effort to create a more “inclusive” workplace.
The Washington Free Beacon obtained a copy of the agency’s Sexual Orientation Gender Identity (SOGI) survey, which is part of a pilot program to voluntarily collect information on its employees.
The survey first asks the employee’s pay grade, supervisory status, education, age, marital status, and race, before inquiring, “What sex were you assigned at birth?”
The EPA wants to know how many of its employees are “Straight, that is, not Lesbian or Gay,” lesbian or gay, bisexual, or “Something else.”

Something else??? I guess my imagination isnt so good in that regard (thankfully)...but what else is there?
It’s sexual harassment; it’s rape!
When your employer wants to talk to you about sex, he or she is HAVING SEX right then!
“I choose Eddie Cochran”
Aww, I still miss Eddie after all these years.
The intention is clearly to discriminate against straight people; were it anything but, the LBGTs would be screaming their heads off.
I appreciate your post txrefugee.
Note that, just as the states have never expressly constitutionally granted the feds the specific power to regulate environmental issues, neither have the states granted the feds the specific power to regulate employment issues.
From previous post …
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), FDR’s activist justices wrongly ignored that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified the following limits of those power. So while the EEOC is arguably a good idea, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutional delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, the EEOC unconstitutionally interfering with how companies manage their employee’s imo.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So patriots need to support Trump in working with the states to decide if the states want to police things like employer / employee relationships and environmental issues themselves, or amend the Constitution to expressly grant the feds the specific powers to do so.
"The States should be left to do whatever acts they can do as well as the General Government." --Thomas Jefferson to John Harvie, 1790.
That sounds more like an effort to intimidate than to be inclusive to me. Guess I'm paranoid.
Illegal to ask.
The EPA can line up to blow Obama but not Trump.
15 more days to T Day.
Government perverts prying their way into employees’ bedrooms.
Gonna be ended real quick by Trump.
The environment can protect itself, and it will.
Say you are an “Audio Sexual” which means you have to make sexually explicit jokes about women in front of co-workers both men and women and they have to respect your sexuality or you will sue them...
Because then they can never fire your sexual harassment claims, use their own rules against them.
I was called “something else” before but not in this way.
More like, “you broke another neighbor’s window!!?? You’re SOMETHING ELSE!!” :)
To be answered......GFY!!!
Tell them you’re a trans-transgender pre-op lesbian trapped in a woman’s body awaiting surgery to become a man who wants to then transition back.
Shouldn’t this be considered sexual harassment?
PETER PRINCIPLE IN ACTION AWARD.
Not competent in what they should be doing and trying to be competent in something that has NOTHING to do with their job..........................
Agree with most of the other posters...since when does my employer get to ask me questions like this?
Bizarre beyond belief.
