Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST :  Throwaway because he knows my account. My boss and I have been close friends for years. I'm gay and he's fine with that. A week ago a new employee was hired and as I got to know him, he began spewing homophobic bullshit about how marriage is between a man and a woman only and no son of his is gonna grow up gay. He doesn't know I'm gay obviously. Would I be an asshole and abusing our relationship if I ask my boss to fire him?
