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)
