San Diego Sexual Orientation Discrimination Lawyer

Sexual Orientation Discrimination Attorney in San Diego, CA

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. This includes heterosexuality and homosexuality. This protection under the law is extended to gay, lesbian and transgender workers.

It may be illegal for an employer to do any of the following based on sexual orientation:

  • Refuse to hire or promote
  • Firing, deny training, deny the opportunity for advancement or otherwise treat an employee unequally
  • Harass an employee

Employers who violate these laws must pay the mistreated employee lost wages, medical expenses, attorney fees and compensation for emotional and physical distress, inconvenience and loss of enjoyment of life.
