Ex-worker at sex shop claims he lost promotion over not being gay


A former employee of the Suzie's Adult Superstore on Auburn Boulevard has filed a lawsuit against the corporate owner of the sex shop on grounds that he wasn't promoted to a sales job because he's not gay.

In his 13-page Sacramento Superior Court lawsuit filed April 15, Michael Beaton also charged that he was instructed to alter the arcade stalls at the shop so its patrons could engage in sex acts.

A Sacramento County sheriff's spokesman told The Bee that sex acts in such circumstances are illegal.

Plaintiff's lawyer Jordan T. L. Peters said the promotion "would have provided him with a lot more income." His suit also charges that management also forced him to pick up used hypodermic needles in the store.
