In general, sexual orientation discrimination can be broken down into two categories:
- Sexual harassment: LGBT employees are often subjected to rude and insensitive sexual jokes, ridicule and other elements that create a hostile work environment.
- Discrimination: An employee cannot be treated differently in regard to employment, promotion, benefits, termination or any other treatment due to his or her sexual orientation.
