It not the easiest thing to prove, but if a court asks for proof of why you were not hired, they'll have a hard time making something up if you can prove you have the skills and requirements. This happens often with gender/sexuality. You can't discriminate based on those things either, and in most cases, the defendant cannot prove a regular reason to not hire the person. Also, that's great to hear. I'm familiar with the whole "cornered and forced" thing. I'm a stage performer, and when I'm on stage speaking, my stutter is completely gone, it's insane. But I believe it's because I almost have no option but to speak clearly and properly. Also I'm glad that worked out for you and you found a better job!
