We been involved in numerous employment cases where as soon as management finds out an employee is gay and with a gay significant other , everything in the employment relationship goes south. Perhaps more obvious, we acquire handled multiple homosexual harassment cases where a gay employee is taunted due to their sexuality.

   Executive Summary

Such discrimination impedes powerful policing in these communities by breaking down faith, inhibiting communication, and preventing officers from effectively protecting and serving the communities they police.

     Consider a lesbian going to work in a shop owned by another dyke. The owner starts giving the employee hugs that feel like something more than just friendly. The employee tell the boss that she feels uncomfortable with the touching and wants to keep everything professional. Suddenly, her hours get cut back. Not as many shifts in a week. Is that sexual harassment? Sure sounds like it could be a pretty good case.

     How about a gay dude who keeps complimenting his straight, male coworker’s physique, asking him what gym he goes to, telling him how good his pants look. The vertical guy politely but clearly tells his gay colleague that he’s not interested in discussing his workouts or his pants, and he just wants to do his job. The gay man accepts the criticism, but responds by continuing to tease the straight guy with exaggerated, 
     

     “joking” flattery. Is this sexual harassment? Again, it has all the marks of a legitimate case.

     But what about this one:

     Three coworkers. All male. Two linear, one gay. For some reason, one starts picking on the gay one, calling him “sissy,” or “queer,” or “fa--ot.” The victim tries no

     June is celebrated as Pride Month, a celebration of sexuality, sexual orientations and gender identities. I, a bi-curious cis woman, too united the Utrecht Pride to partake in the celebration and the festivities. However, I soon realized that my idea of sexual liberation and freedom, which finds its basis in respect, was quite stark from others around me. I was sexually harassed by two gay men who refused to confirm their actions as sexual in nature as they were, gay, and I a woman. They slapped my ass and, when confronted, they showed no remorse and instead the act was followed up with statements such as “yes, I did slap your fine ass.”

     For those two men, and their friends, it was very hard to grasp why I was making such a big deal because they slapped my ass in a lighthearted behavior and since they’re same-sex attracted men, it shouldn’t matter. I was asked if I knew “how lgbtq+ people work” and if I was aware of homosexuality, then I should accept this violence on my body. For them, since they had no sexual desire for my body, their actions had no consequences. They w
