Your workplace rights as an LGBTQ employee in California are protected by state law. Discrimination takes many forms: differential dress code enforcement, denial of spousal benefits for same-sex partners, exclusion from team communications, or tolerating customer harassment. The legal process requires filing with the Civil Rights Department first, then civil court. Time limits matter—one year to file administratively. #LGBTQRights #WorkplaceDiscrimination #LaborRights #CaliforniaLaw
