This lawsuit is precisely why we need to stay away from CFA during the kissing protest. Part of this case will be demonstrating that the actions of CFA caused a “hostile environment for them. That would include people “praying” at them or pointing their fingers at them while laughing. Both of these were suggested behaviors in another thread.
I am speaking at a conference next month where the conference organizers were right up front with their policy: harassment is a matter of perception and NOT of intent. I told my management that I was leery of attending based on these rules, but it’s my job.
I agree: With this pending lawsuit (which may well morph into a multi-million dollar class action law suit against CFA Corp. if the past teaches us anything ) the last thing needed is “hostile elements at the kiss-in”.
The policy of “perception’s supremacy over intent” is horrible: fascist, frightening.
I agree. Let them make fools of themselves. If no-one is there to see them kiss...did it really happen anyway? We need to give them enough rope to hang themselves. We can go back to supporting CFA after tomorrow.
Very good point. Practical wisdom
