Answer:
George has the right to claim for discrimination under Title VII of the Seventh amendment of the Civil Rights act of 1964.
Explanation:
The Seventh amendment of the Civil Rights act of 1964, Title VII, establishes that there are six classes protected under this law, depending on the race, color, religion, sex, national origin and most recently added, sexual orientation.
George is protected by this law and he can certainly sue the company as his boss has been discriminating him for a long time, probably in front of his coworkers. Even without knowing his sexual orientation, he has faced racist comments from his boss in his work environment.
The first thing George should do is to find out if the company is covering under an at will employment policy, this policy is also under the same amendment and establishes that the employee has the option of adopting this policy giving them the right to fire an employee anytime and for any reason.
If the company doesn’t have an at will employment policy, George is totally protected by the amendment and can proceed legally against his employee.
