A Florida man who says he was fired from his job as a security guard because he is gay has filed a discrimination suit against Palm Beach Atlantic University.

In court papers filed Friday Robert Oskey says that his problems with the Christian college began when someone gave his boss a copy a gay personals ad - which Oskey says he did not write. The supervisor, the suit alleges, threatened to fire Oskey if he were gay. At the time Oskey denied to the boss that he was gay.

Several weeks later his supervisor confronted him again, this time with a nine-month-old police report showing that Oskey had been mugged near a gay bar.

2. It's witchhunting era again.

To think that somebody would take the time to surf on a gay personals website just to find out if their coworker is a "fag" is beyond my comprehension. (Perhaps the person is a closet gay himself? You know what they say about homophobes....)

3. This is an outrage.

But I wonder if this kind of overt discrimination will grow in the sleazy moral climate brought on by GWB and his minions?

4. Why would he fire him?

I mean, he's just gay. Not a republican.
