While homosexual individuals may face painful discrimination from society, discrimination based on sexual orientation is against the law when it occurs in the workplace. If you are a gay or lesbian employee, your employer may not treat you differently because of your orientation. Don’t remain silent, get help now! California law protects homosexual individuals by prohibiting discrimination against an employee because of their sexual orientation or their perceived sexual orientation. This means that if your employer treats you badly because they think you are gay, but you are not, this is still illegal.

It is very important for individuals to realize that there is a statute of limitations on sexual orientation discrimination claims in the workplace. A statute of limitations is basically a deadline for filing a sexual orientation discrimination lawsuit. In this case, an employee who has been a victim of sexual orientation discrimination must report the discrimination to California Labor Commission no more than 30 days after she was discriminated against. Therefore, if you were denied a job because of your sexual orientation, you must file a complaint with the California Labor Commission within 30 days of the date of the denial.
