Lionhead studios graphic designer sues Microsoft for harassment!

The Surrey, UK resident is suing his employer, Microsoft (owner of Lionhead Studios), for £45,000/$66,000, money which will make up for "lost earnings and injury to feelings," according to the report on Telegraph.co.uk. A variety of names, laden with derogatory terms, were purportedly circulated in Durrant's tenure with the company as of late, referencing his sexual orientation: "'I'm Jim and I'm Gay," "Me and My Favourite Men," and "Ladies Are Bad," among others.

According to Durrant, when these abuses were reported to the Microsoft human resources department, the company did little to help him, apparently telling him they would circulate an email reminding employees of the company policy -- but they never followed through. When he inquired as to why it hadn't been sent a few weeks later, he was supposedly told that Microsoft would have to draft policy on the matter first. He told the Telegraph, "I was very surprised that Microsoft did not have any policies relating to this sexual orientation harassment." Less than a month ago we found out that the Microsoft Xbox Live team also have little-to-no policy written regarding sexual orientation discrimination.

Wow, another man steps forward. Seems Microsoft hates gay people. Much like the lesbian who was banned from Xbox Live for being openly okay with her sexuality.

Wow, he got $66 grand? People hurt my feelings all the time, and I don't get squat! :lol

I don't get it, why would they make fun of his sexual orientation? I mean, he's a graphic designer, there's plenty of material in that alone to ridicule him for his entire employment there. That's the problem with bigots, they never think long term...
