Misconceptions about Homosexuality

[Scented Nectar]

As the story was trying to illustrate, in Canada, or at least Ontario, gays in my workplace get excluded form what are zero tolerance policies only because of fear of legal retribution. That is not discrimination (or it is, but very positive...), that is pandering. So I hear you that gayness is shunned in Bean-Town, I beleive you've I've been there and all around there. It's worse further South. But up here, we're all progressive and shit. Same as how I love in a dominantly secular community, and you don't.

Bull. In Ontario, gays have no more right to sexually assault people than anyone else. If your employer is paranoid about the guy crying 'gay verbal discrimination', it's time for you to cry 'sexual physical assault'. Tell them to fix the problem or you will go to the police. Grabbing you physically while saying 'gross' things (I assume you mean sexual words), is called sexual assault. You might even want to sneak a video camera or phone into work, and record the fucker picking on you. Hold it over your boss's and the asshole's head if you need to. If they don't stop the guy, call the police. File an assault report. They might even arrest him on the spot, especially if you give them a video to look at. It may be temporarily awkward, but continual assault is continually awkward and worse.

Ask your employer which cases are more frequently occurring and winnable in court, gay discrimination or sexual assault. They may realize that the latter seems to have more precedence and are more frequently prosecuted, while the former might be more of a novel case and thus perhaps less likely to be quickly and as certainly decided in the victim's favour.

Of course, I'm assuming that you have made it very clear to the guy to stop doing it. If you've been at all too polite, unclear, or wishy washy towards him, that's another story. You'll have to start from scratch in telling him strongly and seriously to stop from that point onwards.
