"While I appreciate that thought, that is not what is happening. He is not whining about someone seeing him on the Internet. He is looking at legal action for an attack that caused him to lose his gainful employment."
Prostitution or running an "escort service" is illegal. Any employer would be fully within their rights to fire a worker who was working as a prostitute on the side, which is exactly what "Jeff Gannon" was doing.
I am amazed how many posters on here seem to have forgotten about any sort of moral standards. I don't think that being gay should have impacted his employment status, but being a prostitute is an entirely different matter.
