California LGBT Discrimination Lawyers

After LGBT discrimination, it can be difficult to understand how to proceed.

Reporting California LGBT Discrimination

When you believe that your employer has engaged in unlawful discrimination on the basis of your sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or straight, you have several options to start the legal process.

• Internally report discrimination: An employee can use internal processes to report sexual orientation discrimination, but there are often restrictive rules and grievance processes that must be followed within the company. If the company takes no action after learning of your discrimination claim, immediately contact an attorney who can help you.
• File a California discrimination complaint: While Title VII does not yet extend protection to sexual orientation discrimination, the state of California does through the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), as do many cities in California. By working with our discrimination attorneys, we can help you file a complaint for LGBT discrimination in the workplace and begin to seek financial recovery for your losses related to the discrimination.

We understand that you may not feel comfortable reporting the discrimination internally, either because of retaliation or fear of retaliation. When you work with our discrimination attorneys, we will take every precaution to protect you and your job and hold the employer responsible for retaliation. Our attorneys offer a free confidential consultation to allow you to discuss your case and ask questions about how to proceed after reporting sexual orientation discrimination.
