Sexual Orientation Discrimination

Tough laws prohibit employers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. The Sexual Harassment Law Group protects the rights of employees in the greater Sacramento area and throughout Northern California. We have handled numerous Sexual Orientation Discrimination claims, winning settlements and jury verdicts for clients.

We protect the rights of any worker who has suffered sexual orientation abuse at the hands of a co-worker or a supervisor. This might include:

• Ridicule of a worker known to be gay or lesbian
• Open speculation about whether a co-worker is gay/lesbian
• Derogatory remarks or homophobic slurs
• Offensive e-mails, jokes, drawings or pictures
• Being fired on suspicion of sexual orientation
• Discipline, transfer or work re-assignment
• Unwelcome advances from a same-sex co-worker or supervisor
• Physical assault or threats
• Voluntary resignation compelled by workplace harassment – “Constructive termination”

Has your employer retaliated against you for reporting sexual orientation discrimination?
