Gay discrimination case won
A gay man has won his discrimination case against his employer. He worked at a theatre box office and was the subject of months
of harassment by his manager, including taunts of “gay boy.” The tribunal also found that he had been constructively dismissed
from his job. It also said that the council had failed to take steps to prevent the bullying and should feel “considerable
shame.” The level of compensation to be paid is to be set at a later hearing.
