Sexual orientat. case with great evidence

I have 3 notarized letters (2 from members and 1 from an employee) describing his derogatory comments towards me and members in reference to homosexuality among other things, 1 fellow employee has agreed to be a witness as he worked with me everytime I was scheduled and saw/heard many things, I have my girlfriend and mother who are both witness to these extreme intimidation, humiliation and emotional stress I've endured, I have a police report that says I was removed from the premises after coming in to find out why I was fired (a witness to the events said in the report ''she just asked why she was being fired and he called the police, he never gave her an answer but I did hear him say something about her being a ''fucking dike'' when she walked away to wait for you (the police).'') I also have a note my my schools psychologist who has been helping me throughout this situation.... I've been called a dike multiple times, I've had to listen to many inappropriate things in reference to homosexuality, when I asked for the corporate number to contact them on this I was told employees can't have the number, submitted complaint via email w/ delivery confirmation and no response and the list goes on.. what do I put for ''remedy seeking.?''

Re: Sexual orientat. case with great evidence

Depending upon which civil rights laws (federal, state, civil) you can argue that your employer has violated in its treatment of you, you may be able to reuest some, or all, of the following remedies:

(1) reinstatement in your job;

(2) back pay;

(3) front pay (i.e., future pecuniary loss);

(4) damages for the emotional pain and suffering and for the mental anguish which your employer inflicted on you by permitting your supervisor's abuse;

(5) punitive damages, including punitive damages for the outrageous and malicious conduct of your supervisor which conduct your employer permitted; and,

(6) attorney fees.
