FEMALE FIRED FOR BEING OPENLY GAY FIGHTS BACK AGAINST HER EMPLOYER. CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS HELP LESBIANS.

In California, you cannot be discriminated against because of your sexual preference. Federal and state laws prohibit your employer from taking adverse action against you --- such as firing, not promoting, or demoting you --- because of your sexual orientation, whether it be gay or straight. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if your employer has discriminated against you because of your sexuality.

A female lawyer, who is also a lesbian, alleges that the law firm she was working at retaliated against her for complaining about the alleged discrimination she received because she is gay. She claims that her supervisors denied her a promotion to partner even though all her performance reviews were positive. If true, such behavior on the part of her employers would likely be considered discriminatory.

If you are a gay or straight CA employee and you believe that you have been discriminated against at work because of your sexual orientation, call the experienced employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.
