“...Comments like those by the dimwitted supervisor here are what plaintiff’s lawyers live for...”

Unless those comment are on tape it is also what plaintiffs and their lawyers LIE for.

It is always the fault of someone else, there is always some bias against a ‘protected’ classes. There never seems to be just cause for termination.

If the supervisor had been gay and fired me, addressing me as a ‘breeder’, there would be no case or remedy.

When there is real equality under the law, I’ll have sympathy for this guy.

I'm no expert on this particular law, but I think that, under the NYC statute that this fired employee is invoking, all discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited. So, yes, if someone called you a "breeder" and fired you for not being gay, you would have a cause of action.

Federal law doesn't give the same protection but it does prohibit sexual harassment. There have been cases alleging that a straight male employee was harassed by a gay male supervisor.
