UK: Married father taunted by colleagues wins landmark harassment case

Story here. Excerpt:

"A married father-of-three who says he was driven out of his job by being called a 'faggot' won a landmark case at the Court of Appeal yesterday.

Stephen English, 56, was taunted about being gay by his colleagues every day, even though he is heterosexual.

The teasing was so relentless that he felt 'tormented' and resigned from his job as a window blinds salesman.

'Until now, victims of this type of abuse had little or no legal protection. By supporting Mr English's case, the commission has helped to clarify the law to protect those who suffer harassment based on old-fashioned stereotypes.'"
