New Jersey LGBT Discrimination Lawyers

The State of New Jersey can be considered one of the most progressive states in the United States in terms of recognizing the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community to marry, adopt children, and generally enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexuals.  However, despite these legal freedoms, cases of discrimination against such individuals is not uncommon, and there are New Jersey laws in place from which to seek recovery for damages attributed to such discrimination. The employment attorneys at Aiello, Harris, Marth, Tunnero & Schiffman, P.C.  are knowledgeable and experienced in representing LGBT clients, and have recovered substantial sums in their pursuit of justice regarding their discrimination claims.

New Jersey Law Prohibits Discrimination against LGBT Individuals

The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination prohibits any discrimination against people on the basis of sexual orientation, or gender identity by the following:

  • Employers
  • Housing providers
  • Credit facility providers
  • Places of public accommodation

Therefore, one cannot be harassed at workplace,  wrongfully terminated, or subjected to biased recruitment opportunities based on one’s sexual orientation, perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, gender role and transgender status. Therefore, you are not only protected when your LGBT status is public but also when you are suspected or believed to be of LGBT community.
