LESBIAN WOMAN SUES FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Sexual harassment is against the law in the California workplace. If you are a gay or lesbian employee in CA it is against the law for your employer or another coworker to harass you or make fun of you or make offensive gestures, etc… toward you because of your sexual orientation. If you are a CA employee who feels demeaned, humiliated, or intimidated on account of your gender, you might be the victim of discriminatory harassment at your job. An experienced employment attorney can help you determine what is harassment.

When a woman at a local business came out as a lesbian, she started to receive inappropriate jokes and comments from her coworkers. She asked them to stop, but it continued so she reported it to her supervisor. It is up to your employer to investigate and promptly take corrective action when an employee complains of harassment. When her employer did not, she took legal action and won hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for the harassment she endured.
