Whether is story holds up or not remains to be seen. However, I have ridden the MTA during Pride…and yes many of the workers practically sneer in disgust at the revelry.

If they offered him a promotion (as a sort of hush bribe), it contradicts any claims of him being a lousy worker who deserved to be fired. But he needs to prove he visited a hospital if he wants to be credible.

funny how people want gay people to ‘lighten up’ when there are death threats being made against them; it’s like, really?! Some people just have no idea how bad hostility towards gay people is- and for no good reason. Not to sound like a pity party, but gay people definitely are the most blatantly discriminated against and disrespected of any group of people. it’s just sad. I don’t know what my rant really has to do with this kid being fired, but if he’s telling the truth, I hope karma bites ( & for all the people who shout batty boys and kill them faggots dead’- they’ll get what’s coming to them- hopefully an eternity in hell) Happy Easter Queerty! :)

Another queen wanting to get rich because of pretend homophobia. He even pretended to be sick to get out of work.

Many people fail to stand up for their rights at the time an incident of workplace bullying occurs, because of intimidation or a lack of support around them. I have been in this situation before:

In the article it says he had a couple of options offered to him while they investigated the homophobia. I’m interested in knowing the outcome of the investigation.

If his allegations are true, I hope he wins big just like the lesbian chef did recently. These a-holes need to be put in their place.

Fired for being gay or fired for not being a good employee? And whatever the case is, the boss should be disciplined – if not fired – for being homophobic, point blank period.
