When an employer treats a person unfairly because they believe or know that they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise identified as such (any LBGTQ+), this is known as sexual orientation discrimination. You can fight for justice and possibly obtain compensation from your employer if you experience gender or sex discrimination at work. Sex discrimination also includes gender harassment.
You rights against sex-based discrimination are safeguarded under federal and California laws. The landmark federal Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Civil Rights Act of 1964) establishes significant protections against discrimination and other social injustices. California also has strong employment laws and regulations that prohibit sexual harassment at work, to include the Fair Employment and Housing Act (the FEHA), found in the California Government Code beginning at section 12900. Title VII and the FEHA outline the rights and obligations of employers towards workers, with an eye toward fostering a positive work environment, free from discrimination. Employers risk facing discrimination lawsuits from their employees and staff if they violate these federal laws, as well as the state laws (which we can refer to as the Sexual Harassment Act in California).
