Protecting Employees from Sexual Orientation Discrimination

Much has changed for the better when it comes to the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) individuals and this positive trend has also spilled over into employment because of specific laws that protect employees due to their sexual orientation.

If you are a victim of sexual orientation discrimination or harassment, the law is on your side. You can take legal action against your employer to right this wrong.

Discrimination against LGBT individuals is any action that specifically denies opportunities, privileges, or rewards to a person (or a group) because of their sexual orientation. This discrimination often lies beneath the surface and is evidenced by a reluctance to hire LGBT people (e.g., through selection criteria or interview processes that are designed to disfavor them), and may take the form of lower salaries than equally qualified people, differing evaluation criteria, and lower chances of promotion.

Harassment based on sexual orientation usually takes the form of unwanted, inappropriate, or insulting comments or jokes directed at you or any other LGBT person. It can also involve unwanted physical contact or even sexual assault.
