Discrimination and harassment suffered by a gay General Electric employee is "so outrageous, that standing by itself meets the standard of intentional infliction of emotional distress, and should be tried by a jury," the worker's attorney told a three-judge panel of the Eleventh District Ohio Court of Appeals.

The November 22 hearing was the last issue that will be considered by an Ohio court after six years of litigation by Barry Tenney, 52, against the company where he worked for 33 years, and four of his co-workers.

Doesn't sound like a winner panel of judges to put that argument before. That Grendell sounds like a right wingnut, citing statutes that haven't even been put into law in her opinions.

I think I'd tear my hair out if I had to work in an environment like that court.
