Sexual Orientation Discrimination in Galloway Township: Know Your Legal Options
Every person deserves to work in an environment where they feel safe, respected, and valued—regardless of their sexual orientation. Unfortunately, discrimination based on sexual orientation still affects many LGBTQ+ employees in workplaces across New Jersey, including Galloway Township. If you’ve faced bias, harassment, or retaliation because of your identity, there are legal protections available to help you fight back.
What Does Sexual Orientation Discrimination Look Like?
Sexual orientation discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably due to their real or perceived sexual orientation. This includes mistreatment of individuals who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or queer, as well as those perceived to be part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Discrimination can appear in many forms, such as:
- Being denied employment, promotions, or fair pay due to your sexual orientation
- Being subjected to homophobic jokes, slurs, or a hostile work environment
- Experiencing retaliation after reporting discrimination or harassment
- Exclusion from company events, benefits, or training opportunities
Your Rights Under New Jersey Law
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) is one of the strongest anti-discrimination laws in the country. It explicitly protects individuals from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation under the broader category of sex discrimination.
How Legal Representation Can Help
Experiencing discrimination is painful and isolating—but you do not have to face it alone. A skilled employment lawyer can evaluate your case, help you gather evidence, and pursue justice through internal company procedures, state agencies, or legal action.
Whether your goal is to secure compensation, restore your position, or bring systemic change, legal action sends a clear message: discrimination will not be tolerated.
