San Francisco, CA: (Jul-05-07) Jon Gray, a gay San Francisco sheriff's deputy brought charges against the city, alleging that he suffered discrimination at his workplace, including being subjected to anti-gay harassment by fellow officers who posted homophobic comments on an unofficial Web site. Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge Jacqueline C. Duncan ruled in the matter, stating that Deputy Gray sustained injury to his psyche arising out of and in the course of his employment with the Sheriff's Department due to the online attacks against him.

In a settlement reached, the judge ordered the city to pay Gray for both temporary and permanent disability indemnity, reimbursement for his medical expenses and attorney's fees, which cost the city close to $50,000. [BAY AREA REPORTER: DEPUTY DISCRIMINATION]
