A CALIFORNIA POLICE OFFICER IS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE HE IS GAY. CALL AN EXPERIENCED EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY IF YOU HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST DUE TO YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION.
A CA police officer was discriminated against because he was gay, but by filing a lawsuit against the city, he was able to recover damages. The police officer had informed the Chief of Police that he was gay. When the officer was later denied another position in the force, and given what the court determined was a bad excuse for not receiving the position, he sued the California city claiming that he was discriminated against because of his sexual orientation.
In CA it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of the employee’s sexual orientation, or even perceived orientation. That means that if you are gay, lesbian or bisexual, you are protected by law against harassment and discrimination due to your sexual orientation. If you have filed a report with the California Labor Commission within 30 days of the date the sexual orientation discrimination occurred, an employment lawyer might be able to help you sue in court. Like the police officer who won his case, you can claim future lost earnings and employment benefits, as well as pain and suffering and harm to your reputation for discrimination and retaliation.
