Substantiated IG complaints will only be placed in your records, but a substantiated EO complaint can potentially end your career. Should sexual orientation be a protected category under EO or is IG sufficient? 2014-05-02T11:55:03-04:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 117101

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In the more than one year since this topic was posted, sexual orientation has now become one of the six protected categories under EO, so yes, it's an EO issue.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It was inevitable that this went to EO. It is the army's way of ensuring that people are not discrimated against for having differing views just like religion. I don't see how it differs from religious discrimination in regards to your question.
