In April 2015, Jameka Evans, a Savanna security guard, filed a case against her employer, the Georgia Regional Hospital, for firing her from her job because she was a lesbian. Owing to the law of equal employment opportunity, Evans had the right to seek an appeal at the Supreme Court, wanting her case to be reheard. Evans will have a hard time proving she was fired for being gay. The big question here is that of societal expectations. Maybe the hospital expected Evans to conform to societal sexual stereotypes, which dictate that someone can only have sexual relations with a person of the opposite sex and not otherwise. But again, in the case of Evans, her sexual orientation does not influence how she performs as a security guard. Thus she has all the right to sue her employer for infringing her rights as an American worker and citizen (Lambda Legal, 2017).
