A veteran St. Louis cop who was told to tone down his “gayness” to get a promotion has been awarded almost $20 million, according to a report.
Sgt. Keith Wildhaber said he was passed over 23 times for a promotion at St. Louis County Police Department and then punished with a transfer when he complained, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said.
His captain, Guy Means, privately called him “fruity” and told a friend that the officer was “way too out there with his gayness and he needed to tone it down” to get a promotion, the jury heard, according to the report.
“We wanted to send a message,” the jury foreman told the paper of the huge payout awarded after three-hours’ deliberation Friday.

The multi-generational Neo-marxist message of group-identity victimhood, unlimited government printed money and debt, and extreme sexual license is really bearing fruit. Americans themselves have become the authors of their own destruction.
I worked,side-by-side,with some of the most skilled and dedicated physicians and surgeons in the world (at one of the most famous hospitals in the world). I can guarantee that none of them had to worry about where their next meal came from but I can also guarantee (thanks to having been good friends with a few) that none of them had ever earned anywhere *near* $20 million.
And these were men who typically worked 12 hours a day,six days a week,forty nine weeks a year.
Like I needed another reason not to hire weirdos.
I hope the city appeals it. This is ridiculous.
Self-employed sole proprietorship for the win!
The irony is that the “Cop” was the only straight member of the Village People.
Why was the faggot even employed in such a position anyway? His mental illness should have disqualified him instantly.
Apparently, his “gayness” was enough of an issue at work it if was disruptive enough to sway decisions on promotions affecting department decision making.
I wonder why the article didn’t specifically list actions and attitudes that comprised the behavior the commander mentioned? I’ll bet it was inappropriate advances toward fellow male officers, promoting “gay pride” while on duty, and essentially flouting the rules of propriety.
THIS is why homos are sometimes fired from jobs, not for “being gay,” but for being disruptive a**holes.
Would that hospital be “Peter Bent.” ROFLOL
You must be pretty old to know about that. “Peter Bent” ceased to be about 40 years ago...merged into a larger hospital with a different name.
Did these idiot jurors know that THEY are the ones paying that ludicrous judgment ? Probably not. If they were intelligent, they wouldn’t be on a jury.
Now, that’s funny. But I’ll never set foot in Disney Swirl.
