I lost my job a few days ago for being gay.
Everyone says, "That's illegal! Sue!", but I can't really sue because that costs lots of money that I don't have.
But I did send out letters. Lots of them. Every organization I could think of. On the first day I sent out probably 40 emails and asked them to be passed on. Word spread really fast. I've gotten lots of mail back.
(Here is the main version of the letter I sent out)
------------------------------------------------
" I read about your plight at work through heatherly, that sucks.. this guy must have a lot of deep ruted issues that fester in him making him a big pile of crap.
How have you been?
James
Fluty "
" Hi Jenna, a friend of mine, Emmanuel reposted your bulletin. I can't begin to tell you how outraged I am with your situation. Thank you for sharing your story with us all. You story is another inspiration for me to continue with law school...
Have you thought of pursuing this matter legally?
I'd like to kill this Mr. Finch.
-Heatherly"
" Hi,
I'm Jacquie. I read your letter that Ginny had re-posted and I've never been to a Flippys, but I was wondering if that is the same owner of Papa murphys. I can't think of why that guys name sounds farmiliar, but my family lives in Napa so I'll tell them not to eat there.
I'm sorry you were discriminated against and glad you told your story.
J"
" So I just heard about what happened and I am really sorry. That is such bullshit and I really hope that something good comes out of this, like him getting in trouble for starters!

" your former boss sounds like a total dickhole and you probably shouldn't be too upset that you're not working at a barfy retraunt with a mean pank for a boss.
I think almost all businessesssssss (sp?) have a 30 to 90 day termination clause in which they can fire you in your first 30 to 90 days without having to give you a reason. I've been hired and fired a lot I know.
I was already boycotting filippi's cuz they got barf pizza but now I got 2 reasons.
-Dan"
" Sorry to hear about this. Sounds like you're dealing with it professionally though, so well done. Hope you find a good job where your hard work is appreciated.
-Patrick"
" Thats bullshit!
I've heard that guy is an asshole from other people I know that work/worked there.
You should sue his ass.
-Reverend James"
"where's my picket sign? did you report the guy? so sorry j. just sorry for us all that people like that even exist...
-Jules"
"Hello darling!!! I"m so sorry to hear about Phillipes... that is total crap! Know that you are loved and that the universe will support you
.... It sucks to have to deal with ignorant people!!!!
-Angie"
