The Los Angeles
superior court will hear a case brought by a lesbian
police officer who claims the LAPD fired her because she
complained about discrimination over her sexual
orientation. While Shelby Feldmeier's attorneys are
attempting to settle the case out of court, Judge Edward
Ferns has set the trial date for May 12, according to TheSan Diego Union-Tribune.
Feldmeier worked
as a probationary officer at a station where she alleges
male officers made frequent offensive remarks about her
sexuality. After making formal complaints, which she
says were overlooked, she was subsequently fired for
reasons she claims were unjustified. She filed a suit
in January 2006 seeking damages from the city for wrongful
termination and retaliation. (The Advocate)
