Alexys Kalafer of the Kalafer Law Corporation • 619-236-1631 • Sexual Orientation Harassment Lawyer

We have all heard the comments. People joke about your lifestyle choice or casually use terms like "fag" or "gay" to mock co-workers. You try not to get offended but it is just getting to be too much, especially since your supervisor also does it. If you are experiencing verbal harassment at work because of your sexual orientation, or your work environment has become hostile, the Kalafer Law Corporation  in San Diego County can help you make it stop.

Same Sex and Anti-Gay Comments in the Workplace

It is unlawful to make comments about an employee's sexual orientation in the workplace. Employers are required by law to create a workplace environment free from discrimination and harassment. At the Kalafer Law Corporation in San Diego, we have helped employees stand up to their employers and create a less hostile workplace.

Even small things can be devastating. When your co-worker makes a comment, they may not think that they are doing anything wrong. They may have a friend who is not offended by the comments, and wrongly understood it to be broadly acceptable--but it is not. In the workplace, it is unacceptable to make comments, jokes, or insinuations about sexual orientation, including:

• Casual references to the sexual orientation of a coworker or employee
• Bullying and harassment based on sexual harassment
• Conjecture and insinuations about the sexual orientation of a person--including situations in which a heterosexual is perceived as gay
• Sexual orientation discrimination

If you have experienced any of the above, it is important that you report the behavior to your employer  as soon as possible.
