Sexual Orientation Discrimination

Sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace involves an adverse employment action by an employer because of the applicant or employee’s sexual orientation. 

Sexual orientation involves an individual’s inclination toward homosexuality, heterosexuality, or bisexuality by persons who identify as heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender/transsexual.

Sexual orientation is not universally protected under federal and state laws, but California law protects heterosexuals, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, or transgender/transsexuals from sexual orientation discrimination. It further protects transsexuals and transgender persons from discrimination.

A complex interaction of federal, state, and local statutes create confusing filing requirements, deadlines and procedures which must be strictly followed before moving forward with a discrimination claim.

If your employer has treated you adversely, you may feel lost and unsure if you are protected under the law.
