California Amusement Park Sued of Homophobia

             California's Great America amusement park is being sued over the homophobia of an employee.  Craig Person and Edmund Lang.  The two men rode the Psycho Mouse roller coaster, which takes photos of the riders as it is going.  People can then purchase the pictures for a cheap price.  Usually the point is that people are caught in funny facial expressions and it provides great memories.  However, Craig and Edmund decided they did not want to pay the fee to purchase the photo.  To their surprise, their photo would end up resurfacing and looking different than when it was first taken.

              The couple had friends who rode something else, and they found the photo on the counter and written on it was "Were (sic) Fuck!."  So it sounds as though the employees who had the photo initially thought it was a funny joke and passed it along to other employees, who were careless in disposing of it.  The employees involved all deserve to be fired.  There is no room for bigotry in our society.  If a man were to call an African American a derogatory name, he would be fired.  But if a man makes fun of another guy and calls him a fag, the co-workers often laugh right along.  Congress needs to act to prevent this type of behavior from happening anymore.
