Haha that’s ridiculous. If Barney Frank got a nickel for everytime he called someone, was called by someone, or had sex with a, homo, he would be a quadrillionaire.

I thought it was a term of endearment. “homo” being the more familiar version of ‘homosexual’.

Kind of like all the blacks calling each other ‘n1gger.’

Or how all the gays affectionately call each other ‘fag’.

The question that these reporters typically failed to mention was why the person was fired. Is there a connection between the firing and the ribbing or is there some other reason for the firing? The comments made by Mr. Catalanello were not appropriate in a professional environment and there are legitimate reasons to being a vegetarian. Not to mention that choosing to do so in that person’s business.

No picture so it’s impossible to judge guilt or innocence, but he (a) is a vegetarian and (b) wears running tights. Magic 8-ball sez: Yer a homo!

Homosexual, or “Homo” is no longer PC because it describes behavior, this has been replaced by the term “gay” which is un-offensive and applies to a culture, which includes, theater, the performing arts, some literature, erotica, Stonewall, Harvey Milk, Pride parades, neighborhoods such as San Francisco, Park Slope, The East Village and the notorious bath-houses.

In post-modern identity politics, you cannot attack a culture.

You can sue for being called a homo? I guess this guy didn’t play sports growing up, we’d all be billionaires.

So I’m going to guess a gay vegetarian only eat’s carrots and cucumbers?

Poor comment by the manager. Such terms are counter-productive to a work environment.
Especially if said out loud in the presence of others.

Last sentence of the article....
"Pacifico's lawyer Rick Ostrove said Wednesday his client married a woman in August and isn't gay."

According to the linked article, he’s not suing because he was called a name or because his feelings were hurt. He’s suing because he was fired, and the supervisor’s comments are evidence that he was fired because he was (or was thought to be) gay. In NYC, that’s illegal, by municipal ordinance.

In any kind of discrimination suit, the plaintiff’s biggest problem is proving motivation. Did the employer decide on the firing because of poor performance, or for some prohibited reason like race or age? Comments like those by the dimwitted supervisor here are what plaintiff’s lawyers live for.
