LGBT Discrimination in the Workplace

California Sexual Orientation Discrimination Attorneys

Lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual and transgender employees, sadly, face discrimination and harassment in the workplace even though there are state and federal laws against it.

Harassment and discrimination can take various forms in the workplace — sexual orientation discrimination may be that you were terminated, demoted or refused a promotion. A hostile workplace or an employer's refusal to hire you on the basis of heterosexuality or homosexuality is also illegal.

At The Bononi Law Group, LLP, we can help if you have experienced any LGBT employment discrimination or harassment due to your sexual orientation. LGBT employees have expansive legal protection from discrimination in California. Our employment attorneys will protect your rights. We have more than two decades of experience advocating for clients in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego and Anaheim.

California LGBT Discrimination and Harassment Are Illegal

LGBT discrimination can occur in any workplace environment. While most employers follow the law in establishing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment, some LGBT employees experience terrible discrimination and harassment.

The lawyers at The Bononi Law Group, LLP, are experienced in handling complex discrimination and harassment claims, including sexual orientation discrimination and gender discrimination lawsuits. Our attorneys can help you bring claims against the following types of employers if you are being harassed or discriminated against at work:

  • Service industry
  • Retail business
  • Business or corporate entity
  • Franchise
  • Small or local business

No one should be forced to endure discrimination or harassment at work. If you feel that a California employer has taken adverse action against you by refusing to hire you, terminating you, demoting you or allowing harassment against you to continue, you need an experienced attorney. You may be entitled to lost wages, benefits and punitive damages as a result of the discrimination or harassment.
