    Thanks for this link. Alas, homophobia is alive and well. Just read some of the comments...reprehensible.

    A lovely thought but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

    I feel a bit sorry for the security guard, who is doing a job which is comparatively low-paid. He would have had to take the customer's complaint seriously and deal with her politely, and I doubt if he would have had the training to deal with the situation correctly.

    I agree 100%...but that security guard should never have been put in a position where he had to make that decision. If he had done nothing, no doubt the woman would have complained about him to his employers, then he would have had to worry about facing disciplinary action.

    In Canada, if the employer had done anything to the employee if he refused to do nothing, they could easily face a Human Rights Code complaint and would have been ordered to reinstate him with pay if they fired him and probably faced a fine as well, like maybe $10,000.

    I thought it was good for some to simply have to see the pictures in the newspaper.

    Employment law can get tricky over here. Security guards tend to work for security companies, so in this case he would have been likely not to have been working directly for the shop.
