Fighting Back Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the agency that enforces federal anti-discrimination laws. The EEOC regards sexual orientation discrimination as a form of sex discrimination, which is illegal in the workplace. Here at Kennard Law, P.C., our Houston sexual orientation discrimination lawyers fight to protect the rights of LGBT employees and job applicants in Texas and beyond.
If you or someone you love has experienced workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, contact Kennard Law, P.C.
Sexual Orientation Discrimination Can Involve More Than Harassment
Like other types of workplace discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination can happen in multiple ways. This kind of discrimination involves being harassed or otherwise treated differently on the basis of your real or perceived sexual orientation. Employees or job applicants who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, or heterosexual may experience this kind of discrimination in the workplace.
In addition to harassment by employers, co-workers, or customers, sexual orientation discrimination may involve:
-
Being overlooked for a promotion
-
Being unduly disciplined or assigned undesirable tasks
-
Denial of employment benefits
-
Wrongful termination
-
Denial of employment
You May Be Entitled To Compensation
As an employee or a job applicant, you have a right not to be discriminated against on the basis of your sex or your sexual orientation. If you have experienced this kind of discrimination in the workplace or the hiring process, our sexual orientation discrimination lawyers in Houston can investigate your case and gather the necessary evidence to build a strong claim on your behalf.
Our goal is to hold the wrongdoer accountable — and to secure full and fair compensation for you.
