Sexual Orientation Discrimination In New Jersey
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 are 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, Abate Law Group PC are knowledgeable and experienced in representing LGBT clients. They have recovered substantial sums in pursuing justice regarding their discrimination claims.
New Jersey Law Prohibits Discrimination against LGBT Individuals
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination prohibits any discrimination against people based on 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 part of the LGBT community.
