A sexual harassment suit???? For making that comment? While it was inappropriate and unprofessional, anybody that claims to be harmed by that remark is either lying or mentally unstable.

If that guy sues Steve and gets his way, he deserves to be kicked in the face. Seriously.

I've spent some time living in the States and gained an appreciation for the American culture. But this whiny-ass sue-happy attitude is a BIG disgrace.

if a male boss makde that comment to a female it would be excellent grounds for a suit. I don't why it would be any different.

note- the OP did not happen

It sounds to me like your employee has a decent case for a sexual harassment case.

Seems to me that the person who brings it up completely out of context of a discussion about someone's sexual preference is the one who is obsessed about it, not the other way around.

Since when in OOT did it matter if a story was true?

Knowing or thinking they are not is half the fun.

(ps, I don't care who gets banned for what, not my business).

I can't decide which one of you was more out of line.

If a male boss said that to a female worker that would be highly inappropriate, and the boss would deserve to get fired over it.

But taking someone to court over this? Come on.. why should one be compensated for every bad thing that happens in life? Can you honestly say that such a comment justifies the resources spent on a lawsuit - regardless of who ends up paying?

If you are his supervisor than you were definately out of line.

If he was a chick, and you were straight, you would almost certainly be looking for a new job.

While I will grant you that this guy is an a**hole and deserved your remark, that was pretty stupid of you. What you did is very borderline illegal sexual harassment - close enough to run the risk of passing for it in a lawsuit.

I don't think its even borderline.
