Reason I brought it up, a guy I worked with, asked a girl out at work. she said no. He dropped it. Next day, he was written up. A lesbean asked a religious girl at work out. She said she was not interested, but the lesbean was persistant. She was reported, but not written up.

I am assuming you are a guy so picture this. Some guy you work with totally and with nothing you have done makes sexual advances. Wouldn't you report him? Doesn't matter if the unwanted attention is from same or opposite sex. All people have rights under work acts and laws that they have a right to have a friendly and comfortable work environment. If ANYONE does something that causes them to be uncomfortable or upset than they are aloud and depending on what state they are required to report it.
Here is a link with a dictionary term of what sexual harassment is.
Side note: I had someone say something slandering my religion and if I hadn't report it and it had gotten out she and I would both be on our buns! My place requires that you tell your manager or human resource head about what has happened if it goes against our code of conduct.
Bye!

If she does it contiuously, inspite of your rejection, and you think of you could, threaten to record a sexual harrasment fee (this DOES qualify as sexual harrasment). If for some reason you experience you won't be able to (collectively with it being a comprehensible 'guy factor') in simple terms ignore approximately her, or additionally be a jerk and make some unemphasized remark that she ought to take as as insult: ask if she's pregant, gained weight, make a discusted face and ask what 'that scent' is, tell her you perfer ((insert function your spouse has that she does not, like hair shade, some style of physcal assett)). If no longer the rest, tell her your spouse is a loopy lady who'll stab her with an ice %. if she does not back off..even plan out some loopy rondivue and have your spouse on the place of work and have the coworker 'walk-in' on some overly romantic, passionate scene between you and your spouse..don't be advantageous to her approximately it, she for sure does not comprehend you and the courting you have already got, and has a tricky time taking 'no' for an answer...

Only if the straight co-worker feels that it was sexual harrasment. It doesn't have anything to do with the sexual orientation of either individual. If a co-worker simply asked me out I wouldn't press charges, or even mention it to anybody. If the co-worker didn't drop the issue and kept pestering me, I would bring it up to a manager and make it clear that if the behavior didn't stop that I would be forced to take legal action. You can't assume that just because you tell a manager that things will change. The manager most likely won't take it seriously and think that things will just blow over. If you threaten to take legal action they will know that you are serious.

She very well could.
Although many gays may not agree with this, lesbians and other homosexuals are not exempt from the laws that govern the rest of us -- including those regarding sexual harrassment in the workplace.

if there is physical contact, (touch) the police will charge her for assault.
If there is no physical contact and only verbal harassment, you can sue her and/ or your employer for harassment.
If the verbal harassment contains sexual elements you can sue her and/or your employer for sexual harassment at workplace.
In all cases....some of the responsibility goes to your employer who didn't make the provision to protect his employees.
So, whatever the case is, don't let him out.
Better consult a solicitor. There are different laws from place to place.

Just report it to Human Resources or a supervisor if you are really sure. If not, go get therapy.

Only after the coworker asks her to stop, and the lesbian coworker persists, it then becomes sexual harassment

If a female hit on me,I guarantee she wouldn't be hitting on me again and it would wish I would have brought charges against her!

Yes. It's sexual harrassment.
