Gay Man's Title VII Suit is revived by 3rd Circuit

The U.S. 3rd Circuit has ruled that an effeminate gay man must be allowed to pursue a Title VII claim alleging that he was targeted for harassment because he failed to conform to "gender stereotypes." The Circuit Court decided that a lower court erred when it declared that plaintiff Brian Prowel's sex discrimination claim was nothing more than "an artfully pleaded claim of sexual orientation discrimination."
