What Sexual Orientation Discrimination Looks Like
LGBT discrimination in the workplace occurs when employers treat workers unfairly based on their identity as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender individuals. Common examples include:
- Denial of employment opportunities or promotions
- Workplace harassment or hostile environment
- Wrongful termination based on sexual orientation
- Unequal access to benefits and opportunities
- Discriminatory workplace policies or practices
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, employers with 15 or more employees are prohibited from discriminating against workers based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. This protection provides LGBTQ+ employees in Indiana with legal recourse if their rights are violated at the federal level.
