From the civil rights page:

Obama and Biden will work to overturn the Supreme Court's recent ruling that curtails racial minorities' and women's ability to challenge pay discrimination. They will also pass the Fair Pay Act to ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.

Equal pay for equal work is a way to force employers to pay 'pink collar' jobs, like receptionist the same as 'blue collar' jobs, like construction worker. A huge government bureaucracy will be developed to define 'equal work' jobs.

I also have a problem with prohibiting discrimination based on 'gender expression'. This sounds like you can't fire someone because he dresses like a woman.
