I am a heterosexual officer who works within the Department of Homeland Security in Los Angeles California. The Field Office Director (FOD) of the branch where I work is a homosexual male. He has intense dislike towards me because I rejected his advances and because I told him that as a Christian, I do not practice the gay lifestyle. This infuriated him. Now I am a target of his retaliations and harassments. I have filed an EEO in 2013 with the EEOC and I am still waiting for a decision. Also, more recently I also filed a grievance with local management because the harassments were continuing. The Acting District Director sided with the gay FOD and denied my grievance. I have appealed this denial to the Regional Director. I am now waiting to see if the Regional Director will defend me or side with the gay FOD who is abusing and harassing me. I know that the gay FOD is an out of control advocate of LGBT rights who does not care about employees who do not support LGBT causes.
What legal advice would you give me as to how to proceed to protect myself from being the victim of such discrimination and harassments?
