Closet Guy. Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I came out today, i decided to do it at work. My friend spat at me and told me hed better not see me near his kids. Ive never met his kids:confused: Why would me being gay mean his kids are in harms way from me? I think ill stick to a life in the closet:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Common assault could earn him a hefty fine, and/or a community order. I take it you have reported him to the police? Filing a work grievance might be a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sounds like the guy is an idiot, get him reported, if not to the rozzers certainly your superiors at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengeek Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sounds like the guy is an idiot, get him reported, if not to the rozzers certainly your superiors at work. This. No excuse for spitting at anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibutton Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That is reason for a disciplinary action against him, and also I would post a grievance. Totally disgusting behaviour, chin up and take action...never hide! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Get it reported both to the police and your work. Spitting at someone is totally unacceptable, I'd far rather someone attacked me than spat at me. As it's in the context of you telling them that you're gay then it could be aggrevated as a hate crime as well. Sorry you had to go through that BTW, some people are just bigotted idiots but in this day and age the majority of Sheffield peeps aren't so don't let one nasty incident squash you.

RootsBooster Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would definitely make your employers aware of the situation, there may be more to come in the future, best to raise the issue now rather than later. You don't have to take action against your "friend" but you need to make sure someone higher up the chain of command knows what has happened. Good on you by the way mate.

Mister M Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm sorry to hear that. I agree that he should be reported if not to the police then certainly to your managers. Have you got support regading coming out, Closet Guy? There's a couple of very good organisations that are aimed for people making that difficult step, here is one of them: http://www.shoutinsheffield.co.uk/ Good luck.

Greengeek Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Lol, maybe he's thick enough to think that his kids would "catch the gay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
