    Why would they get fired over that? That gay was probably trying to rape them.

    Obviously, I am being sarcastic and acting like them.

    I'd be shocked if they didn't have another job lined up already.

    I definitely agree.

    It's sad to hear that it took so long, but years ago, they might not have been fired at all. : /

    While I wish it would have happen sooner than it did, I am glad they got punishment for their actions. It truly embarrasses me to say that we life in a world where we put or security into the hands of people who discriminate, and put in danger, the people they are supposed to be keeping safe.
