The Pennsylvania Governor’s Council for Sexual Minorites was an officially appointed advisory committee created by Governor Milton J. Shapp in 1976. Governor Shapp, by executive order, declared that all executive branch offices and services were to end discriminatory practices and policies against all LGBTQ+ employees, clients, and program of state services. The proposed council was his instrument guaranteeing the implementation of his decree throughout the Executive Branch of state government.

This document was created by the Community Affairs Committee of the Governor's Council for Sexual Minorities to provide a procedure for handling complaints of discrimination of sexual minorities and examples of the Complaint Recording forms.
