About all big corporations do anymore is preemptive action trying to head off lawsuits by every fringe special interest group you can name.

Protect its employees? Shovel that rubbish in a another direction as this truck has been on the job for over 40 years and is full to the brim.

I think you mean manage, not protect.
Assets are used, used up and replaced as necessary for the good of the bottom line.

If a gay IT specialist, project manager, engineer, (fill in the blank) is harassed to the extent that he leaves a job, the company suffers a loss of productivity and corporate memory that is time-consuming and expensive to replace. And it may, as you pointed out, suffer an even more expensive lawsuit. It is completely in a company's best interest to take a stand against harassment.

Homophobic is a buzz word used by the liberals to say there is something wrong with us if we think that homosexuality is wrong , which it is.

The liberals are famous for inventing buzz words to make the general public think they are wrong. No they are not wrong for knowing that homosexuality is not the norm. A man and woman is the norm in a sexual relationship and marriage is between a man and woman.. The buzz word homophobic has no relevance to sound meaning. Nothing wrong with knowing that homosexuality is wrong. This buzz word is overused and has no real meaning.

Can you give me an example of something specific happening in your school regarding this issue? A book...a health unit...anything?
The teaching of "alternative lifestyles" - happens in more schools than I would care to even think about.

Again go back to the Three R's and educate.

What does his gay behavior have to do with the workplace? It shouldn't even be brought up.

I hope you aren't the same righties who believe religion should be in public schools...

How has your kid been brainwashed? Did he come home from school and suddenly start giving blow jobs to his G.I Joe dolls?

Spare me the paranoia.
