When the FBI learns that Mary, its FBI agent, is a lesbian, Mary is fired. Mary goes to an attorney to find out about the possibility of suing to get her job back. What does the attorney likely tell her

She should not

Explanation:

The best thing the lawyer might possibly tell her is for her to back down, because it is possible it is against the FBI policy not to take someone who's is gay or a lesbian. So since they found out they had to sack her. It is the FBI, they have standards and requirement before they can offer you a job, they know the kind of candidate they want in there system. Also they might have asked her before recruitment if she was a lesbian and she lied, so she shouldn't bother suing them but the only thing she can sue them for is if her benefits were not given appropriately, that will be the best advise a lawyer will tell her but if she insists, the lawyer will still go ahead and try his best.

Mary's attorney will likely tell her that she must sue the FBI based on gender discrimination

The Federal Government promulgated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in which laws covering gender discrimination on the job is contained in the Title VII of that act to specifically prevent any form job or workplace discrimination based on sex, colour, race or origin.
