My younger brother (the only of my two siblings to be gainfully employed), is quitting his job tomorrow. He heard that his boss was going to fire him when she came back from her vacation. Apparently she doesn't like the fact that he's a proud member of the glitter brigade. I'm not sure if that's a legal reason to fire someone, and I don't think it's very good idea to quit his job to preempt her. Hell, I'm not sure if it's not just a rumor. I don't have much experience with these kinds of things. Every time I get fired the employer probably has a good case. Like that it I beat a coworker senseless with a chair leg and painted him yellow. Or that other time I jumped a guy in the office after work who was making fun of me and bit him several times. So input, would be welcome.
And because Ed liked the photos so much the first time, he's some pics of the little bastard.

We were painting curbs so we had lots of yellow paint.
Your brother is hot, especially in the last picture.
As for the legal question, I think it depends on the state legislation. There are definitely states where you cannot fire someone for being gay, but there are those where you can.

Raz, you made my enemies list. And your brother is an idiot for 1) Quitting instead of making them firing him and 2)Being a glittertard.
total idiot for quitting in case he was sacked

QFT.
Agree. Way more options if you wait to get fired. Of course, then when you fill out job applications later, you can't honestly check 'no' on the question of "Have you ever been fired from a job or asked to resign..."

Hmm. I always thought it was better to resign than be fired. No?
I guess it depends on your goals. If you want to qualify for unemployment, I was always led to believe that you are disqualified if you leave voluntarily. Also, if there's to be an kind of discrimination lawsuit, I would think it would be more likely to go in your favor if you were actually fired.
Btw, is glittertard a word for gay or is this a reference to some weird subculture?

Look in thy mirror.

I can see this going both ways. If you quit because of harassment/discrimination, they can't claim they fired you because of your bad performance.

Missouri is one of the states where you can fire someone for being gay.
My Brother is also prone to making bad decisions. For instance, filming himself getting hit by his own car (some kind of Jackass stunt). And dropping out of high school.
It's confirmed. He quit. Now he has to find a new job.
Raz, did your parents ever have any children who lived?
I'd like to drag Raz's brother, my gayball cousin and Mart with a pickup truck.

Three. Elder sister, not so much. :(
