Facts: S. Wilson, a male homosexual, worked for Keten International. Some of Wilson's co-workers, including his supervisor, made derogatory comments, about his sexual orientation. Wilson's work deteriorated. He filed a complaint with Keten's human resource department. Two days later, he was fired. State law made it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an individual based on sexual orientation.
After reading the facts, identify, analyze and justify your decision-making legally and ethically in connection with the following issues in question:
1. Could Wilson establish a claim for retaliation? Why or why not?
2. Should homosexuals be a protected class under Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act? What are at least two arguments for and against amending federal law to prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation?
