She felt the need to "out" me to many co-workers of mine, and continued to "joke around" about my "flamboyant-ness". Im very "straight acting" (if you will), and did not want to release that information. I feel as if I have to worry now around some of the people i work with. Im planning on sueing my her for slander/discrimination as an employer, and I also plan on sueing the company for not disciplining her for previous actions of hers and for the fact that they allow slander/discrimination. Any legal advice or does anyone think i have a legit case?

You got nothing. Slander can only be applied when it's false, and in this case, she's right. As for discrimination, you need to wait until she does something that singles you out on it. Honestly, I can't think of any scenario. You can complain to a higher up, or you can take it straight to your labour board. Good luck.

I think you do have a very legitimate case.
DO your homework and talk to a legal professional.
GO after the big bucks.
I'm not gay, but I do support privacy issues in the workplace.
Your personal business is not everybody's business.
Do the career-world a favor and sue your company and your wayward manager!
AND, if I were you, I'd pray for strength to endure; you'll need it.
Once you commit to the legal recourse, your life is going to be far from comfortable for a while.
God bless!

Okay first of all do not assult a man due to the fact he says matters that make you uncomfortable. Thats the stupidest concept I consider I've ever heard. Just inform him if he does not go away you by myself that you can dossier for sexual harrasment. You do not have got to truthfully dossier for one however I have a sense a good way to close him up. I do not realise why the man are not able to go away you by myself even though. Gay or now not thats simply creepy lol. If matters get relatively dangerous then you definitely would inform your boss and perhaps he's going to aid you out.

no a person can not sue about something that is true.
And it can't be slander since it is true, and they have not discriminated againt you for any protected right, they have not did anyting against you for your race, your nationality , you religions.
Yes get over it, people can't be sued for telling the truth, if you are ashamed of the truth, that is a problem you need to get professional help about, not sue people over

talk to a lawyer. This is a privacy issue. An employer has no right to give out information regarding ones sexual preference. If your employer is constantly cracking jokes about your homosexuality then you may have grounds for a sexual harassment suit. Have you told your boss that you find these jokes offencive?

You baked it, you eat it. There is a right to privacy, but you said you were gay. It has to be an insinuation or an out and out lie . Never volunteer any information on the job, only follow what is in your job description.

no, not for slander or discrimination, unless you and your local courts think being called gay is an insult. however, you may have some "privacy" grounds to sue. that's what i'd look at.

Slander generally means false and malicious so you probably don't have much of a case. Do whatever rolls your oats.

It is not slander if it is true. As for discrimination, the question would be whether you were denied a promotion because of your sexual orientation. If not, then no. If yes, then, maybe.

Well if it is true, than you have no legal action. And if it is true, how did he find out? And if it is true, why worry about what others think? If you do your job, then the rest is irrelevant.
