“A commission in Alexandria, Va., has unanimously ruled in favor of a gay man who alleges that the company that owns TGI Friday’s restaurants fired him for being HIV positive, meaning a lawsuit against the business could be imminent… Carlson Restaurants terminated McCray on July 26, 2006. McCray said the company fired him the day after he disclosed his HIV-positive status. The company said McCray was terminated because of concerns with restaurant operations and his integrity.” [NY Blade]

As a fellow poz guy, I hope he nails their ass to the wall on those vague “integrity” claims. A lot of people wonder why we don’t always wear our status on our sleeves? Pay attention, and learn. The whole mechanism of safer sex education and partner notification would be infinitely improved if we, as poz people, could be honest in all areas without paying hideous consequences, instead of parsing out when it’s right and when it’s not, who will tell and who won’t (and it gets around easily)…if we could, in short, just go back to being people instead of plus signs.
