Claims of sexual harassment in which the harasser and plagued are the exact same gender are examined in much the same manner as different-sex harassment cases. See, normally, Sexual harassment with a co-worker. However, the analysis in cases of same-sex cases is exceptional in that, in same-sex cases, some courts don't recognize that the inference that the harassment was"based on gender," as it does in a normal sexual harassment case.

In a normal scenario, where the conduct involves a man and a woman, courts have traditionally assumed that the sexually aggressive, vulgar, or offensive harasser was motivated by gender. In same-sex cases, however, the motivation isn't assumed. Defendants will typically assert that the plaintiff must show that the harasser is homosexual, and if that can't be shown, then assert that the harassment was only horseplay.

This isn't necessarily correct. Federal courts have held that another possible approach to set up that the"based on sex" element would be to prove that the harassed employee was exposed to"earnest sexual solicitation." This contrasts with the legal definition of"sexual harassment" as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with work or creates a hostile or offensive working environment. That's if the sexual advances by a part of the same gender are real but undesirable, how the harassed isn't homosexual shouldn't bar a suit for same-sex harassment.

Whilst same-sex harassment claims face unique challenges, the burden to establish a claim shouldn't be much greater than that of an opposite-sex claim. The law in this area is unsettled, however, so consult an employment lawyer in your state to learn the current status of the law.

After consultant to a sexual harassment attorney, you can be free of sexual harassment under California law by filing a charge or claim with the California Department Human Rights, together with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or by filing suit in court. California sexual harassment victims may also pursue claims under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964

•  If the complainant chooses to file a civil action, they must file it within 90 days of the receipt of the IDHR's Director's notice of dismissal.
•  If the Manager of the IDHR finds significant evidence of a violation, the complainant has the right to file a civil action in the circuit court or ask the IHRC to file a complaint with the IDHR.
