Reynolds endured decades of abuse from male coworkers who often targeted her for being a lesbian and for her age, including demeaning comments even in front of patients.
Reynolds' attorney remarked, 'There's no way she would have been yelled at and treated the way she was if she were a man,' emphasizing the discriminatory culture.
The City Council approved a $1.3 million settlement, marking it as the largest discrimination payout in city fire department history.
Reynolds agreed to drop the lawsuits and not file additional cases, despite severe harassment including a reported incident of a colleague urinating in her office.
