If you had read the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion more carefully for the substance of that ruling, you would have gleened the following:
Had Medina been a heterosexual male and his co-workers and supervisor been openly gay, Medina would have prevailed in his case because Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act does proscribe sexual harassment on the basis of gender.
It is particularly noteworthy that Medina had never availed himself of criminal sanctions against his co-workers or supervisor for assault and battery. Had Medina filed criminal assault charges against his co-workers and supervisor, he would have prevailed in the proper court.
A reasonable man or woman would correctly inquire why Medina allowed himself to be criminally assaulted for almost two years before he took any action whatsoever.
