While Plaintiff's back was turned to Defendant ROCKETS's players, he began to hear laughter and taunting voices saying, "Get this **** out of here!" and "He's trying to catch a sneaky peaky!" These series of comments were repeated a number of times by Defendant ROCKETS' players and staff. Plaintiff could hear Defendant ROCKETS's players' overlapping voices and laughter.

Sounds consistent with Rockets fans on the MSB.

I thought gays were not a protected class in the workplace.

So you can sue someone for making fun of you now?

, I don't understand how that'll work. Someone at a rival company makes fun of you, so you sue that company?

What I don't understand is how did they know he was gay?

There's gotta be more to the story.

I'm considering suing Dire Wolf for referring to me as a "turd wrangler".

You can sue anyone for anything, really. Doesn't mean that it won't get dismissed immediately.
