Gay Man Sues Boss For Pro-Gay Bias

[chanel]

A gay man in Manhattan contends he was fired because he objected to his boss's biased hiring: The boss, he alleges, had a bias against hiring straight people.

Jamie Ardigo, 32, of Hoboken, is suing investor and entrepreneur J. Christopher Burch of New York for sex-discrimination and wrongful termination. Ardigo, who had been hired as HR director for J. Christopher Capital, Burch's company, contends he was fired when he sought to change what he claims was Burch's and the company's discriminatory practices.

Ardigo asserts, on other occasions: "I witnessed it in meetings with the executive management team, where he'd blatantly state the fact that he only likes to hire gay men and beautiful women."

Ardigo found this troubling on two levels, he says: As a gay man, he personally was offended. And as an HR professional "keenly aware" of the need to maintain a non-discriminatory atmosphere in the workplace, he knew that both the attitude expressed and any hiring that bore it out was contrary to federal and New York City law.

Now THAT is a rare occurrence - sued over hiring practices that favor a special interest group. Any bets on whether or not he is going to win?
