One other point, to my knowledge there has not been a significant
increase in sexual orientation complaints since the 1994 requirement in
WA state that districts have sexual harassment policies which would
cover same sex sexual harassment. A number of districts wrote broad
based harassment policies which covered sexual orientation as well as
sex and race.
