Yesterday, as part of a slate of executive orders signed by President Biden on his first day in office, he issued an “Executive Request on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.” It is now the policy of this administration that “[e]very person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be fit to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love.”
