The court systems are now seeing many cases of same sex sexual harassment suits being filed and the most recent one was at a Mc Donalds restaurant in Albuquerque, NM. It was settled for $90,000 when the manager harassed a group of male teenagers to touching body parts and requesting sex from each of them individually. Apparently many admitted homosexuals are perpetrating these things across the nation and it is a real problem for employers. Because although they realize that homosexual males will often do such things in high-stress environments or positions of power an employer cannot discriminate against hiring them. It is a real catch 22 for all employers and the awards these people are getting in lawsuits when harassed are a killer on any businesses cash flow. Even worse consider that Mc Donalds in this case may have been and probably was these male teens first job and thus the acts are even worse in that it will taint their views of employment. The Gay and Lesbian Community says this is an isolated incident, but I disagree, I think this is a lot more common than people realize. In fact have run a franchise organization myself I can remember several times witnessing gay males between the ages of 18 and 35 making suggestive comments while at work. The key says some government employment regulatory agencies is to educate people to recognize and turn people in who do sexual harassment. But I think all homosexual males ought to be schooled in common decency and sexual harassment law and all employers should have the right to fire them anytime they see anything out of the ordinary in the way of sexual misconduct from a homosexual male on the job. As it stands now, the homosexual males often sue their employers for terminating or firing them or often for not hiring them. Yet, these same homosexual males put the employers in their pickle by subjecting them to high-pay out and negative PR lawsuits. This needs to stop. Consider all this in 2006. |
