If your employer mistreated you based on your sexual orientation or gender identity, you may have a legal claim. We help employees take action and seek the compensation they deserve.
California law provides some of the strongest protections for LGBTQ+ employees in the country. Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), it is illegal for employers to discriminate against workers based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
This includes all aspects of employment, such as hiring, termination, job assignments, promotions, pay, and workplace treatment.
Examples of sexual orientation discrimination include:
Discrimination may be subtle or direct. You might be excluded from meetings, treated differently after coming out, or denied the same advancement opportunities as your peers. No one should be judged or punished at work for who they are.
