re: New employee question

quote:

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.

This bring up two concerns:
1. If we ever want to fire him, is there a good way to legally protect the company so that he can't say he was fired because he is gay?
2. We have no control how clients feel about working with gay employees.


This is a Louisiana company if that matters.

I feel sorry for this guy if you are any indication of what he is going to have to deal with. I wish I knew the guy to tell him what he is up against.
