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.

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 many people in the company?

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.
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

What the frick kind of business do you work for?
Posted on 7/31/14 at 8:30 pm to eelsuee
You should probably just treat him the same way you'd treat any new colleague?

It is not illegal to fire an employee in Louisiana because they're gay. So you're OK there.

You sure do like to bad mouth your office a lot.
I'd be worried about your job at that engineering firm, boss.

I have decided that I am not going to sign it. They really don't want to fire me and I am willing to take it that far. I guess I will find out if they are willing to. On a positive note though, I have found out there are several others that are not signing and I THINK they will have to back off. The people they would have to fire alone could start a competing firm very quickly. I just have to make sure they don't divide and conquer the hold outs.

My company is hiring its first gay employee, but he doesn't start for a few more weeks. At this point we know, but he doesn't know that we know.
Careful I understand its an airborne disease if you breath in the Gay's air.
