Tenney, who still works at the plant, has been an employee of GE since 1973. He says he has been harassed for being gay by the company and four employees about half that time.

Tenney's attorney, Tom Sobecki of Toledo, originally saw the case as an opportunity to get the Ohio Supreme Court to extend employment protection to gays and lesbians because of the extreme nature of the harassment and an earlier decision where two of the justices suggested that sexual orientation should be protected.
