You're scared you're going to catch "the gay" aren't you.

I think you should PM Toddy directly to talk about this...

Treat him like any other employee. He obviously didn't tell you so he isn't going to tell a client.

This is a Louisiana company if that matters.


Work -At-Will state.

Can fire for any reason (not federally protected) and not modified by employment contract.

Thus, "I don't like your shoes. You are fired". No recourse. Homosex is not a protected class (yet)


Now, why assume this is going to be a problem. Who gives a shite as a fellow worker or a client? Seems like a worry for nothing

How about just treat him as any other employee. Someone's sexuality is no one's business at work. If he has performance issues document and terminate.

Is it better to let him know on the first day that it was known but hired him anyway. That way he can't claim he was fired after people found out.
Yeah, that will show real well in front of a jury when you say you hired him "anyway".

BTW, he could have a solid "hostile environment" claim if he ever finds this thread and can tie it to you.

Just by the way your office is brainstorming and planning over something as trivial as having a gay coworker tells me this will turn out badly somehow

You should probably just treat him the same way you'd treat any new colleague?
