Sexual Orientation Discrimination Attorney

Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation Remains a Problem, Even in California. ARCH Legal PC Demands Justice for the Victims.

Many Californians move to the state, at least in part, because they believe it’s largely free of discrimination based on sexual orientation. It can be particularly shocking, then, when your employer or prospective employer engages in discriminatory behavior based on your sexual orientation or identity.

If you believe you were not hired or promoted, were terminated, or suffered other adverse outcomes because of your sexual orientation, contact ARCH Legal PC. Our attorneys have extensive, valuable experience handling sexual orientation discrimination cases.

Even if you are not 100% certain you’re the victim of discrimination, we want to speak with you. Call ARCH Legal PC at (866) 331-1338 or email us today to complete your consultation.

California Workers Are Not Immune from Sexual Orientation Discrimination. Here’s How It Happens.

There were many reasons why both federal and state legislators had to pass anti-discrimination laws like the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These and other statutes that explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation were necessary because employers did not prove willing to abstain from discrimination on their own.

Unfortunately, countless employers in California continue to engage in discrimination, even with several laws protecting employees from such infringement on their rights. Such discrimination may include:

• Asking irrelevant or inappropriate questions about an employee’s or prospective employee’s sexual orientation or identity
• Promoting a culture that does not foster inclusion or acceptance
• Not hiring, not promoting, or firing someone based (at least in part) on their sexual orientation
• Making inappropriate comments about one’s sexual orientation
• Not granting maternity or paternity leave, or other parental benefits, to someone of a certain sexual orientation
• Denying spousal benefits to same-sex partners
• Mandating discriminatory dress codes or behavioral standards
• Treating someone in any adverse way that could be related to their sexual orientation

Every employee in California (and elsewhere) deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and understanding. Just as importantly, you should be evaluated based on what they offer as an employee, not the details of your personal life.

If you believe you’ve been treated unjustly based on an immutable characteristic like sexual orientation, it is crucial to call ARCH Legal PC for help.

Discrimination of Any Kind Causes Harm. You May Deserve Compensation for Your Damages.

Discrimination causes a wound that does not quickly heal. Our California employment law attorneys have seen firsthand how discrimination based on one’s sexual orientation can:

• Cause direct financial harm (including lost wages and pay raises, lost benefits, and other forms of economic loss)
• Re-open years-old trauma that the employee thought they had overcome
• Require the employee to take time off from work to address the psychological and emotional effects of the discrimination (causing further financial harm)
• Necessitate counseling and other treatments
• Negatively affect the trajectory of your career
• Cause an indefinite loss of trust in employers in general
• Cause alienation from coworkers and the loss of enjoyment of life

There’s no doubt that sexual orientation discrimination imposes both economic and non-economic costs on the victim. The case we make on your behalf will reflect the full extent of discrimination-related harm.
