Lesbian prejudice is a form of discrimination against lesbians. Public harassment and, school, social and workplace discrimination are 3 common types of actions. While there are specific laws governing hate crimes against gays and lesbians, there is often little protecting them in the workplace. Lesbian prejudice can result in an individual losing his or her job based on the dislike of an employer for the person's sexual orientation. While many states have begun to implement state legislation protecting all employees from discrimination, there are several that have not acknowledged this to be a legal problem. The lack of protection against lesbian prejudice in the workplace exposes the individual to harassment on and off the job. Fortunately, many of the larger corporations, including Fortune 500 corporations, are undertaking to write company policies addressing this issue. Talk to your employer and a qualified lawyer to see what your workplace's legal stance is.
