Some agencies already include LGBT protections, as do most of the campuses in the state university system, according to Nancy Astrike of the OPC. According to Palmquist, 15 of the 16 campuses—all but Elizabeth City State University—have such protections, as do several of the Council of State departments.

The latter include the lieutenant governor's office. Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, in answer to a question posed by the Indy during her primary campaign for governor, said her office has a formal policy "prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation."
