According to the allegations, Quilala was assigned in April 2023 to work security at Oracle Park. The following month, a Securitas supervisor allegedly called him and said there had been a complaint about him being gay, asked intrusive questions about his sexual activity, commented that Quilala was “so embarrassing,” and said Quilala would be removed from his work assignment and have his hours reduced. Over the ensuing months, Quilala alleged rumors about his sexual orientation spread among coworkers. He also alleged he was removed from his work assignment and had his hours “substantially reduced,” and that a field supervisor repeatedly mocked him by referring to him as “Mrs. Quilala” whenever they met in person.
