vicarzIf you are being discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation, don't assume you don't have protection if sexual orientation is not applicable to your employment situation. Such a claim may also relate to title VII (civil rights) protection from a related issue - gender role stereotypes.

If called nellie fag or bull dyke, this isn't just orientation. Some other arguments that may relate to your situation are:
Religion - differences on practice of religion (when religion or sin noted as basis for or part of adverse treatment) are part or all of the basis for the discrimination, therefore the claims are actionable as discrimination on the basis of religion
Gender role - too femme for male, or too butch for female, might open the gender protection under title VII door.
Neat stuff to think about.
