Melanie Ames

plaintiff United States

Melanie Ames is an Ohio state employee who has been at the center of a significant legal case involving workplace discrimination. She began her career in the Department of Youth Services in 2004 and claims she faced reverse discrimination when her promotion was denied by her gay boss in favor of another gay woman. Her case challenges the legal requirement for majority group members to demonstrate 'background circumstances' to pursue discrimination claims, a stipulation that has been deemed unfair by many legal experts.
