At Rise Law Firm, our sexual orientation and transgender discrimination lawyers in Long Beach are united in the fight against workplace discrimination in all forms, including violations perpetrated against our LGBTQ+ community.
There are currently no federal laws protecting LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination in the workplace, but in California, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits employment discrimination because of sexual orientation or assumptions about sexual orientation.
In short, it would be unlawful for an employer to refuse to hire or fire an employee because they believe the employee is gay, regardless of whether that belief is correct.
Our Los Angeles sexual orientation and transgender discrimination attorneys protect the workplace rights of our LGBTQ+ clients, so each can enjoy quality working conditions, free from harassment and hostility.
All too often, employees face discrimination in the workplace based on their sexual orientation or transgender status.
