A former firefighter is suing Los Angeles County, alleging he was discriminated against over his disability and endured his co-worker's homophobic harassment in the workplace. The Los Angeles County Fire Department said it does not comment on pending litigation. Despite complaints made about Barnett's alleged harassment, Guimaraes' suit claims Barnett faced no disciplinary measures and the conflicts between the two continued to escalate. When Guimaraes returned to the fire station in Marina del Rey, Barnett also returned and so did the harassment, he alleges in the lawsuit. ©2024 Los Angeles Times.
