California LGBT Law Attorneys
San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Employment Discrimination Lawyers
We help put the 'fair' back in 'fair fight'
There are a variety of civil rights and equal protection laws in the U.S. that promote fair treatment and equal opportunity for every citizen, regardless of gender, race, age or disability. More than most other states, California has expanded upon those laws to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
While most of us are familiar with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) and employment non-discrimination, there are other federal, state, and local laws that you may not have heard of but which you can use to challenge discrimination in employment, housing or services. There are other laws to address violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
These LGBT laws and California-specific employment laws include:
