Advocacy for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender LGBT Employees

Members of the LGBT community constantly face sexual-orientation harassment and discrimination in their personal and professional lives. While traditionally, state and federal laws have offered very little protection in terms of sexual-orientation discrimination or harassment, laws across the United States are evolving. A federal executive order and California state law prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of an individual's sexual preferences or association with a member of the LGBT community.

• Sexual-orientation discrimination: Discriminatory conduct on the basis of sexual preference is not only unfair, it is illegal in California. If you were demoted, were passed over for promotion, received unequal pay, are subject to unfavorable work assignments or endure other discriminatory conduct on the basis of your sexual orientation, you may have a claim against your employer.
• Sexual-orientation harassment: Employees should not have to endure any level of harassment, whether it involves jokes, verbal abuse, unwanted physical contact, physical abuse or any other unwanted conduct. When that harassment is so severe or pervasive that it affects an employee's ability to work, he or she may have a claim for harassment. In some cases, the harassment endured by gay men or other members of the LGBT community may rise to the point that the employee may also have a valid claim for sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

Our attorneys work diligently to investigate your case and provide an honest assessment of how we believe we can help. We strive to hold your employer accountable and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.
