Helpful evidence may include emails, text messages, HR complaints, witness statements, performance reviews, discipline records, policy documents, and timing that shows treatment changed after your employer learned about your sexual orientation.
Possibly. If the harassment was severe, repeated, or reported and the employer failed to take proper action, you may have a hostile work environment claim. The facts matter, so it is important to have the situation reviewed.
Save any messages, emails, documents, reviews, or witness information that may show what happened. Avoid deleting anything. Then speak with an employment lawyer as soon as possible so deadlines and legal options can be reviewed.

 No. If you complained about discrimination, reported harassment, supported another employee, or contacted HR, your employer should not punish you for speaking up. Retaliation may include termination, demotion, reduced hours, discipline, or exclusion from opportunities.
