Security Guard to Gay Veteran at Occupy Wall Street: Your Fly’s Open, Faggot
http://unicornbooty.com/blog/2011/11/15/security-guard-to-gay-veteran-at-occupy-wall-street-your-flys-open-faggot/


"Your fly's open, faggot."
A security guard working for Brookfield Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park who leveraged to have NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg forcibly remove protesters from the Occupy Wall Street encampment late last night, is seen here in this video calling a gay six year army veteran a faggot.

Oh HELL no.

Joey Boots, the faggot behind the camera, was injured in the line of duty while serving his country. Which is more than we can say about the homophobic Brookfield Properties.

1. Me, to security guard at OWS: "Your asshole is showing, bigot."
Apparently nothing we do, no sacrifice we make, will be enough for these troglodytes.

2. That's the true nature of the beast...greed and hate always work together
This is why, among other things, LGBT people should be VERY wary about putting their cause in the hands of "enlightened" corporations. In the end, once the corporations have neutralized all threats, they will drop all pretense of "non-discrimination", just as they dropped all pretense in treating workers as human beings after 1981.

Change can ONLY be made from below. It must always be forced on those at the top.

5. The top comment states that asshole was fired..
Just got an email response from Matthew Cherry, Director of Investor Relations and Communications at Brookfield, saying the guy has been terminated...

The individual in the video was a security subcontractor. His comment was offensive and inexcusable. Brookfield has a policy of zero tolerance for such behavior. In accordance with the company’s codes of conduct, his work with Brookfield has been terminated.

Thank you for your concern.

Regards,

Matthew Cherry
