Yes, LGBTQIA+ employees are protected from workplace sexual harassment, just like all other employees. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, EEOC, has said that workplace harassment because of an employee's gender identity or expression is sexual harassment. Harassment that happens because someone doesn’t fit traditional gender stereotypes of masculinity or femininity is a type of sexual harassment. Workplace harassment against LGBT people is always rooted in other people's belief that they are not acting how a woman or man "should" act, therefore making it sexual harassment.

It is unlawful to harass a person because of that person's sex, including the person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy. Learn More

All employees and supervisors working in Maine must undergo sexual harassment prevention training. Employers with 15 or more employees are required by laws to provide training to supervisors and employees within one year of them assuming office. Those who need to establish a proper code of conduct in their organizations and prevent unwanted cases of sexual harassment will find this training particularly helpful.

Following the #metoo movement, the Maine Human Rights Act was amended recently to add a new requirement pertaining to sexual harassment training. Employers who need to deploy the training must now use a checklist prepared by the Maine Department of Labor (MDOL) to develop training programs. Maine employers must maintain a record of the training for at least three years and it must be made available to the MDOL upon request. All this is aimed at ensuring that organizations go beyond mere compliance and bring real change in the workplace culture.
