Walmart employee forced to wear yellow vest after telling boss he’s gay

A Las Vegas man who held a temporary job at Walmart says he was stripped of all his responsibilities and made to wear a yellow vest after telling his manager that he's gay.

Fernando Gallardo has filed a complaint with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission claiming that his boss at a Vegas-area Walmart confronted him about his sexuality, and then began treating him rudely and alienated him from co-workers after learning Gallardo was gay, reports The Advocate.

"I was completely ignored and shunned," he wrote in a complaint to the rights commission. "I had nothing to do all day but wander around the store wearing a yellow vest no one else had to wear, much like Jews had to wear a yellow star of David in Hitler's Germany."

2. Walmart: The Third Reich of low-priced goods!

Were they afraid he'd give the customers "gay cooties"?

:wtf:

3. Yet another reason why..

I will never set foot in Wal-Mart.

6. This is DEFINITELY one for my WTF? Files!

Sadly, this is what I have come to expect from Wal-Mart. Even if there are rules against discrimination, a creative supervisor can find a way around them. If true (and I have no reason to believe that it isn't), I hope that Mr Gallardo sues the hell out of Wal-Mart and wins.

7. I have a problem with this

I can understand the homophobia involved with the stripping the guy of his duties but having him wear the yellow vest because he's gay just doesn't sit right with me

I've seen Wal-Mart workers wear buttons that say that they're new

there's just something that doesn't feel right about the complaint

I don't know

:shrug:

8. He should sue them.
