… auch nicht schwule Menschen. Ein Fall aus England:

Stephen English, who is heterosexual, says he was called a “faggot” and “Mr Franglais” by fellow members of staff at the blind and awning firm where he worked.

He alleges that the barbs began after a sales manager discovered that he went to boarding school and now lived in the Sussex seaside town, which has a large gay population.

Mr English, who has been married for 20 years and has three teenage children, decided to take legal action after his attendance at Brighton’s Gay Pride parade wearing “skin-tight Lycra cycling shorts” was mentioned in the Thomas Sanderson Blinds in-house magazine.

His lawyers told the Court of Appeal that Mr English had tried to ignore the innuendos but “over the passage of several years he found it increasingly upsetting.”
