                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to protecting the 
                  privacy rights of Federal employees.

Whereas executive branch departments and agencies have been known to officially 
        recognize, encourage, promote, and fund homosexual events and 
        homosexuality, both male and female, without explicit congressional 
        mandate; and
Whereas that type of official recognition, encouragement, promotion, and 
        funding, at taxpayer expense, is questionable, given that--
            (1) homosexuality is not a fundamental constitutional right;
            (2) there is no clear evidence that persons are deprived of 
        educational or economic opportunities by reason of their homosexuality; 
        and
            (3) equating homosexuality with race, color, or gender is highly 
        offensive, particularly to many minority group members and women who 
        have had to struggle to secure social opportunity and certain basic 
        rights: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) executive branch departments and agencies should not 
        officially recognize, encourage, promote, or fund homosexual 
        events or homosexuality, directly or indirectly, male or 
        female, without explicit congressional mandate;
            (2) the Office of Personnel Management should administer 
        the civil service system in a way such that quotas, minority 
        status, affirmative action, and other similar concepts do not 
        apply with respect to homosexuality or any claim thereof; and
            (3) no person should be required to comply with, 
        participate in, or endorse any employee sensitivity training or 
        education relating to homosexuality or cultural diversity, or 
        other similar program, as a condition for appointment, job 
        retention, or advancement in the Federal civil service.
