"Writer Sues CBS Over Alleged Discrimination Against Straight, White Men in Hollywood"

Brian Beneker, a script coordinator and freelance scriptwriter for "SEAL Team," has sued CBS and Paramount for alleged racial and sexual orientation discrimination against straight, white men. He claims that the companies favored less qualified nonwhite, LGBTQ, and female writers over him, despite his experience and credits. Represented by the conservative America First Legal Foundation, Beneker seeks $500,000 in damages for lost wages and a court order to be instated as a full-time producer on the series, aiming to end the alleged discriminatory practices.
