So this guy contacts me on craigslist Tony, he's a housekeeper in Palm Springs,and that since I speak english and he felt he could trust me, good things would be in store, so I trusted him, didn't sign any paperwork he said he'd get that to me when he could, so I started, did alot more work than I should've, I worked for him for a week and a half, so yesterday, out of nowhere, he tells me there's no work today, so i'm like oh okay, so he calls me later that day and tells me the guy that he fired for stealing from him (who is gay, my boss is gay also) was rehired because he begged for his job back and that he didnt need me anymore so he fired me, I think it was because im not gay, is there anything I can do about this? It really messed me up expense wise, and i'm in debt now. I've worked for him for a week and a half, he gave me no warnings at all, I denied other job openings just to take this job.

On these facts, you do not have a legally viable claim for unlawful discrimination. Best just to move forward with the next chapter of your working life.

It is illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation, so you may have a case. However, you will need prove that the reason was sexual orientation instead of the employer just desiring someone else. Absent that proof, you will not prevail.
