A gay coal miner is suing a Massey Energy Co. subsidiary, charging that management didn't protect him from abusive co-workers.
The lawsuit names Massey's Spartan Mining Co. and a foreman at a Kanawha County mine as defendants.
Miner Sam Hall claims in the lawsuit filed in Kanawha County Circuit Court that he was subjected to verbal abuse and lewd gestures, and his car was vandalized at several Massey mines between 2005 and 2010.
Massey general counsel Shane Harvey told the Charleston Gazette the charges are "despicable" and if true the company will take action.

I am sorry, but this is just not a job for a gay man. Coal miners are a special breed of men. They are tough and being gay is not on the agenda. I agree with Cheetahcat they should work in cutting hair and not mining coal.
You’re looking at the future of the Military.
Not if the military still has “blanket parties”
And how do you know he's gay ?
There is no claim he bothered the miners with his sexuality. Gaydar and his not being with women would be enough to give him away. Attacking and harming gays or anyone else on the job is not okay unless it is in self defense.
“And how do you know he’s gay ?”
He walks funny and say “hey, heyyyyy”.. You know, they kind glide when they walk. Never heard a sexual remark, but he’s gay as the sky is blue. None of my business. Just don’t associate with him. My choice.
i know, i mine data
Pingout tomorrow.
Lewd gestures indeed. I thought fags liked lewd gestures.
“Gayness”? You mean a life of same sex sodomy, I take it.
Well, this fag miner put the moves on another miner and the normal miner did not appreciate it!
People with mental illness and aberrant and abhorrant sex fetishes should keep their filth to themselves and then no will know or care.
It appears that he put moves on one of the other miners. If no one knew, no one would care.
“Well, this fag miner put the moves on another miner and the normal miner did not appreciate it!”
Your 3rd grade language doesn’t help your cause. In any event, peoples beliefs never call for this behavior in the workplace.I didn’t see any evidence of faggotry or violation of rights. What’s your beef with people. Intolerance and perpetual party line stigma of conservatives? I wonder if some people get out...its about freedom. When we lose sight of freedom and focus on leadershio, we lose our mojo as a nation. Quit being so angry without a conservative plan for us.
