Some cities and some states ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Sorry to hear that. That is bad. I am glad I never worked for a place like that. People should mind their own bussiness and not talk behind people's backs.
From your story though, maybe they supected that you were gay for a while and then the stuff about how you do bad work was started after that so that they could fire you and have an excuse. I doubt this all happened with in one day, but was building for some time.

Sometimes it needs to be wielded as a blunt instrument. And I'm one of the good ones, a manager who has been told by many people twice my age and four times my experience that I am the best boss they've had, one whose employees decided to throw my wife a baby shower. However, you really can't be a perpetually nice guy and lead people at the same time.
Now in regards to your situation it sounds a bit like Thorn's here (in the fact that the firing was arbitrary), but I didn't really bother to comment on it because I know Jack (or John) about English employment law.

Am I the only one who finds the timing strange? We all know Thorn's an atho, and this right after PH's wrongful term?
But if it's genuine, sic 'em. Make sure you talk to the employees and get written versions of their observations (and write yours down so you don't lose memory of exactly what was said and occurred) Also request in writing why you were fired, signed by at least one manager. Talk to your local EEOC lawyers and see what they say. If what you say is true, you should be able to get a decent settlement. Even in North Carolina.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
