3040 REVIEW GRANTED An action for sexual harassment on a hostile work environment theory may be brought by a male for conduct of another male, regardless of the harasser's sexual orientation, and regardless of whether the plaintiff believed that the harasser was serious in requesting sexual favors; the continuing violation doctrine may prevent incidents of sexual harassment from being time-barred, if they occurred outside the period of limitations but led to retaliatory termination within the period of limitations.CitationVALDEZ v CLAYTON INDUSTRIES (Same Sex Harassment) 88 CA4 1162 [See: GovC 12900 etseq; Mogilefsky v Superior Court 20 CA4 1409, T/AT 2/94; Accardi v Superior Court 17 CA4 341, T/AT 9/93; Flait v North American 3 CA4 467; Janken v GM Hughes 46 CA4 55, T/AT 7/96; Watson v Dep&Mac226;t / Rehab 212 CA3 1271; Fielder v UAL 218 F3 973; Morgan v Regents 88 CA4 52 T/AT 5/01]
