Step-by-step explanation:

There are six prohibited grounds of employment discrimination on which all jurisdictions agree. These grounds include race, gender, age, religion, disability, and sexual orientation. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee on these bases. Furthermore, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act specifically prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, gender, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation, indicating that sexual orientation is indeed recognized as one of the primary prohibited grounds of discrimination.
