    Cal. Civil Code §51: All persons within the jurisdiction of this state are free and equal, and no matter what their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, marital status, or sexual orientation are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments of every kind whatsoever.

    -“Sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, marital status, or sexual orientation” includes a perception that the person has any particular characteristic or characteristics within the listed categories or that the person is associated with a person who has, or is perceived to have, any particular characteristic or characteristics within the listed categories.

    __________

    Identifying the LEGALLY PROTECTED expression of an individuals sexual orientation, in this case masculinity, as TOXIC, a non-literal pejorative, clearly violates Cal. Civil Code §51 and can be defined as harassment if it takes place in the workplace and causes harm. I would strongly recommend that any male who has experienced such harassment in the workplace contact an attorney.

      Calling lawyers is a little extreme. I think people can handle it.
