Stephen English says he was forced to quit his job at an awning manufacturer because the company refused to stop workers from calling him a ->-bleeped-<-got and other gay slurs.
English filed a complaint with the Employment Appeal Tribunal alleging the harassment began when fellow workers discovered he had been educated at a boarding school and that he lived in largely gay Brighton.
