Sexual Orientation and LGBTQ Discrimination
An individual’s sexual identity should never be a considering factor in the workplace. At Barahmand Law Group we are committed to protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (“LGBTQ”) individuals. Our Los Angeles LGBTQ Attorneys have enabled many LGBTQ employees to receive the compensation they are entitled to after being discriminated against in the workplace.
Discrimination against LGBTQ individuals can happen in a variety of ways and can sometimes lie beneath the surface of an individual’s employment. Some examples of LGBTQ discrimination include, but are not limited to the following:
- Teasing the employee or making comments about one’s sexual preference
- Unequal pay for one’s identity as an LGBTQ individual
- Terminating the employee
- Unfairly disciplining the employee
- Failing to hire the employee
- Failing to promote the employee
- Reducing the employee’s salary
- Transferring the employee to a less desirable position
- Denying employment opportunities
- Giving the employee negative performance reviews
Employers should not get away with any form of discrimination in the workplace.
If you believe you are a victim of LGBTQ harassment and/or discrimination, you may be entitled to compensation. Our firm may be able to represent you in recovering in a lawsuit for damages, including lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
