I have refused business to an American company before when they sent a sales rep to visit me who made a point of letting me know he was a homosexual. I ened up giving the business to an Australian company.

It was quite a disgusting series of events actually. I was advising on the project locally and one of the Americans made of point of telling me he was gay and asked where he could meet other gays in town - I was a bit shocked and just said that I had no idea.

It was a US5 million dollar project and the US company based out of Boston was actually going to get the project until the last minute.

We went to the hotel to meet the guys and the doorman told us that one of "our friends" he was up in the room the night before with two gay boys he had picked up somewhere.

I met later with two of the directors and the CEO and then advised them accordingly.

The project was awarded to the Australians - The company in Boston never knew the reason why. Sad.

I would say that you didn't deny them business because they were gay. You did it because of their inappropriate behavior.

If they had asked where to score some hookers, then taken the girls up to their room......I suspect your reaction would have been the same. Mine would have, I'm sure.
