I have a bad problem at work. I and my life partner have
moved here from Hawaii last July. My problem is I found a
really nice job doing what I am best at. the thing is I
am being humiliated at worK. I have been called a fag,
asked how big I am because of my six foot 7 inch frame,
asked if my partner and I sleep in the same bed, asked if
we are married, and if we did it would be like real "fairy
tale", asked if I liked it on the top or the bottom,
comented on how nice my finger nails are and asked if I
got them manicured regularly, I went to the owner of the
company and he said that this is just guy talk and if I
didnt like it he would fire me. we talked for a while,
then he said that he understood that I was independantly
wealthy, I told him that my bank account had nothing to do
with the sintuation and that it was none of his business,
he then added if I was a potential for sueing him he would
fire me. Things had gotten worse for me at work and many
other things had been said by the same person. I let this
go on for a while and now I am sewing this man and the
owner of the company that I work for. This was not my
plan ever I have never thought of such a thing though now
I can see how this can happen. It is very hurtfull and
humiliating. It has come out that the owner has been a
huge part in all of this. I am still working for the same
company. He can not fire me because of the legality of it
and I no this is driving him in sane. My real problem is
I feel like a theif for doing this. the case is supposed
to close next wednesday, the three lawers that I have
hired on this say its all done and we are going to win the
case. The other problem this owner will have to close the
doors to the business as I will not say how much the
proceeds are going to be, though there will also be a lean
put on his house for several hundred thousands also. The
town I live in is 75 percent gay so I have had a lot of
support from the residents and go for it signs with my
name on them posted all over the city. I don't need the
money. I am wealthy through my investments so I am going
to donate 100 percent of the proceeds from this to the
desert aids foundation. Beleive me it will take care of a
lot of sick people. My point is when any one is harrased
in any way by an employer go after them some you people
just let if go and things get worse. After wednesday I
will be quiting my job. My partner is very cheered about
it. We moved here for retirement and I could not sit
still. After this I think I will enjoy life. I think I
have put my partner through hell over this. He did not
want me to go after the owner of the compay he thinks I
am, very wrong for all of this. Hit them in the pocket
book dont ever sit back this happens all to often and
every one should be treated fair weather strait of gay.
