4. An "enacted" policy that has been passed to help with a problem/issue that individuals/families face.
5. This policy is beneficial to the gay community and protecting their civil rights. It is necessary for government entities to continue providing protection to all of its citizens.
6.  This policy will help against discrimination towards homosexuals. It is a measure that has been considered to be added unto the preexisting job discrimination law.

The Equal Opportunity Commission has established policies to protect U.S. citizens in the workplace. Over the years it has established rules regarding workers rights. Workers are protected while applying for jobs and managers and human resource executives are to be fully informed of what is legal in the workplace and what is not. This policy was created to reiterate the importance of having policies in place to protect the U.S. workforce. Employees are protected from discrimination against them because of their marital status, sex, age, skin color…etc. The U.S. Senate has determined that unto this list it is necessary to also add that potential employees should also not be discriminated because of their sexual orientation. This policy was a must to establish a given. This policy also creates a safer working environment for many employees who are homosexual. It can be argued that the “sex” clause in laws against discrimination also applies to the gay community, but it needed to be elaborated to also include them. With the establishment of this policy, it creates awareness and consciousness in the U.S. government. The government is beginning to realize it needs to establish means to create an equal opportunity for the homosexual community. This is the beginning to many new policies that will be established in the future to benefit these individuals.
