Plaintiff is a practicing non-denominational Christian. Plaintiff bases his claim for religious harassment on purportedly anti-Christian video clips Sidetrack played during comedy nights, offensive performances ridiculing Christians at special events, and degrading comments Sidetrack employees, particularly Lee Trudell and Defendant Oakes, made to Plaintiff because of his religion

Plaintiff contends that video clips Sidetrack played during its weekly “Comedy Nights” contained “anti-Christian and Christian mocking elements.” DuJan testified that the purportedly offensive videos included the following clips:
“A clip of Sarah Palin and her family being murdered in [the] woods with automatic rifles;”
“Other clips of Sarah Palin interposed among gruesome clips from horror films;”
“Clips of a group of men called the ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,’ who were dressed in nun habits, used garish makeup, showed large pregnant bellies, held bottles of alcohol, and mocked Christians and Catholics in particular;”
“Clips of a man in a loin cloth aping being [sic] Jesus … acting like a ‘buffoon,’ acting intoxicated and seeking sexual favors from men;”
“Cartoon clips in which actors portraying Jesus and Santa Claus engage in fighting, with the Jesus character being physically beaten;”
“Clips of Pope Benedict XVI falling down or acting in a strange manner;”
“Clips of a Pope Benedict character with bizarre eyes and rotten teeth attacking individuals;”
“Clips of midgets dressed up as priests chasing young boys seeking sex;” and
“Clips of gay events with patrons dressed up as religious figures and acting in a drunken manner.”
