Did you know that federal laws (and often state and local laws) prohibit harassment in the workplace? Harassment is a form of illegal workplace discrimination under Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws. Certain federal, state, or local agencies, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will investigate claims of harassment.

As we wrap up Pride Month, join Pride in Exile for an informative meeting with former EEOC Commissioner Chai Feldblum. We will discuss what constitutes illegal harassment, share some common examples of harassment against LGBTQ+ people, discuss how to talk to your employer about any harassment you may be experiencing and how to document harassment for legal purposes. We will also answer questions about the current state of the federal EEOC and of state and local commissions in investigating claims of harassment based on LGBTQ+ status.
