Legal Responses To Sexual Orientation Discrimination

You may be a victim of discrimination if you are treated differently due to your sexual orientation. This may be a one-time instance of discrimination or an ongoing occurrence.

Licata & Yeremenko has experienced California sexual orientation discrimination lawyers. Our attorneys can assess your sexual orientation discrimination claim and build the strongest case possible to try and recover just compensation.

California Protects Individuals From Discrimination On The Basis Of Their Sexual Orientation

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of an individual’s sexual orientation. FEHA applies to all of the Golden State’s public and private employers, labor organizations and employment agencies. The act makes it illegal for an employer to terminate, refuse to hire, deny promotion, demote, or otherwise discriminate against anyone based on their sexual orientation.

It can be tough to prove sexual orientation discrimination in a civil case as the discriminatory acts are often guided by the individual’s concealed prejudices. But, with an experienced California employment law attorney at your side, you can get the help you need to present the best possible case.
