As to "paint your toenails and wear women's underwear," that falls in the category of "gender identity and expression."

In 33 states you can be fired or refused employment based on your sexuality. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is meant to ban employers from considering sexual orientation in employment decisions.
