Sexual Orientation Discrimination
Discrimination based on an individual's sexual orientation is an ugly and unfortunate reality in many workplaces.

However, in light of growing awareness of the issue, individual states and employers have increasingly taken steps to prevent and punish instances of sexual orientation discrimination.
