What Does LGBT Discrimination Look Like?

State and federal laws prohibit discrimination in the workplace based on an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, and relationship status. Discrimination can refer to any type of physical, verbal, or sexual harassment based on the fact that a worker identifies as a member of the LGBT community. 

It can also describe adverse employment actions taken against an individual because of this protected class, such as:

  • Job termination
  • Suspension or discipline
  • Demotions or pay downgrades
  • Poor performance reviews
  • Dress code violations
  • Restricted restroom access
  • Exclusion from meetings or projects
  • Getting passed up for promotions
  • Lower pay than a non-LGBT worker for substantially similar work 
  • Refusal to hire an applicant
  • Unfair scheduling changes
  • Refusing time off related to gender transition
  • Retaliating for complaining about LGBT discrimination

Regulations under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 make it illegal to harass or discriminate against an individual because of his or her status as LGBTQ+, gender identity or expression in the workplace, or for coming out as gay or transgender.

I would trust Jillian with any legal matter. She is thorough and can help anyone understand their legal rights.

I had the pleasure of working with Jillian when I had an incident at my daughter’s school where her confidentiality rights were violated. Jillian stepped in, did lots of research, told me how to communicate to get a meeting, and prepared me to stand up for my daughter. I have never felt so confident going into a meeting before. My husband and I were able to communicate clearly where the violations were and quickly get a resolution to the problem. I would trust Jillian with any legal matter. She is thorough and can help anyone understand their legal rights. I am so grateful I reached out to Jillian, and I know she will work hard for you too.
