Minnesota Gay and Lesbian Discrimination Lawyers
It is illegal for an employer to harass or discriminate against an employee based on his or her sexual orientation. While state and federal laws specifically protect against this form of discrimination, some employers still fall behind the curve, mistreating certain individuals due to orientation.
