Sexual orientation discrimination—there's no federal law forbidding it, yet "any lawyer with a pulse" can get a claim to go forward in federal court.
If sexual orientation—and gender identity and gender expression—are not on the list of protected characteristics (race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age), how do such cases make it to trial? It's because claims say the discrimination was "because of sex".
Just because there is no federal law prohibiting a particular activity doesn't mean a company has no liability regarding the activities of their supervisors and employees.
