Protecting You And Your Business

Were You Harassed or Discriminated Against Due to Your Sexual Orientation?

Currently, no state or federal laws prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. In many instances, however, protections are in place to address these shortcomings. City and municipal ordinances may prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. Company employment policies may also offer protections. At Sterling Employment Law, our Detroit lawyers represent victims of discrimination based on sexual orientation.

We Will Stand Up for Your Rights

Just because there are no state or federal laws that outright ban discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation does not mean that a person is prohibited from making a discrimination claim. In addition to municipal ordinances and employment policies that offer protections, it may be possible to bring a claim under existing protections against discrimination and wrongful discharge.

Employment laws that are designed to protect workers from sex stereotyping also apply to employees who are gay, lesbian or bisexual. For example, an employer may not fire or otherwise discriminate against an employee who is viewed as not being “masculine” or “feminine” enough. Our attorneys will thoroughly review your claim to help you determine whether you may have a strong discrimination case.
