I'd take the guy to one side outside work and talk to/ last resort beat the shit out of/ him. It's sad that there are still so many people who are like that too.. I was working with a machine driver last week, who when offered suncream as we were getting burned replied "what am I? GAY?"

^ Oh, and PS, as they said in another thread....we should be fine with you talking about people you like as long as you're not going on and on and on and on and on or saying weird things about someone's tits/wang (that goes for all genders/sexualities ) I made all these jokes about marrying Stacey and I'm still here! Nope....never talk about wangs in public....and tits? Yeah....not for me thanks....not even man tits....

I'd take the guy to one side outside work and talk to/ last resort beat the shit out of/ him. This is not school or a playground! There is a procedure here and it's being followed - I doubt it would be solved by just "talking to him" as I'm not sure he has the intelligence to reason. The false accusations are just a blip on that process ... probably inevitable as this guy is clearly a coward.

He's not only a coward but a big fat stinky liar (i'm trying to stop swearing!) Anyway.... I do have faith in the powers that be to sort this out....Littlewoods are a good company to work for....most of my ranting has been out of frustration...and i think that frustration becomes multiplied by a thousand when you know you haven't actually done anything wrong. My only concern is with my manager who should have reacted right away when i brought up the matter (as many of you said) and i am considering making a complaint about her not doing her job properly.... And yeah...violence never solved anything....but i have to admit when he sat there spouting out all that crap about me i just wanted to slap his face!

i would leave complaints about your manager until the main matter is resolved. You should eventually complain about it though because they should be the 1st person in your corner, although am I right to assume that she is also the other persons manager too? If that's the case then the manager possibly isn't allowed to side with either party, but has to be involved as a point of reference.

Anyway, just hoping it all gets sorted out. No one should have to put up with this.

This is not school or a playground! I never said it was a school/playground , or that it would solve anything, but as last results go, it sure would help me feel better if I were in the Doc's place... And some people do need a good kicking.

I'd kick his ass....but A: I'm anti violence....B: I'm actually quite scared of him as he's rough as a dog's arse and C: I'd be the one that got fired!

I've been to see the people in HR at work today who suggested we sit down with the guy who's been making the Homophobic remarks and try and work things out. I was cool with that i don't want to have any enemies at work and would hate to work in an uncomfortable enviroment. So they called in my manager and this guy. We sat down and the HR woman (Chris) said "OK why don't you start Lee?" so as tactfully and as politely as i could i explaned that i felt uncomfortable with this guy calling me faggot and with him "dry humping" me. I also said that i didn't want any bad feeling between me and him i just wanted to be left alone to do my job. Then he spoke up and the fucking tirade of bullshit that came out of his dirty rotten mouth left me in tears....He's claiming that not only have i been flirting with him (which is something i would NEVER do) but he also said i made a pass at him when he was in the Gents!!!! There was more but right now i'm too upset and fucking angry to type it down. My manager just sat there and said absolutely nothing....which pissed me off....i've fucking worked there longer than him and i'd at least have thought she would have said "well we've never had any other complaints about lee" but no....she just fucking sat there staring into thin air like she was bored stiff. So now i'm the subject of a sexual harrasment complaint when i've done nothing! To be onest this thing has got me so upset i'm considering handing in my notice....but a friend of mine said that if i left without fighting it i'd look guilty when i've nothing to look guilty for.... It's fucking wearing me down though....i've been so upset aty work today ive had to take the day off sick....I'm at a total loss as to what to do.... Fucking twat the bastard one.

I hope this has all been sorted out now but I have to say,being in a relationship with a red blooded straight man, if another man had tried to flirt with him and then made a pass at him in the gents, he would have punched them, or definately told someone else when it happened, not waited until a tribunal came up, The man is obviously trying to 'cover his back', no pun intended

^ yeah..the guy sounds like he has problems (I actually feel a wee bit sorry for him..as in the only way he can deal with himself is by putting you down.) It's like people who go out gay bashing to prove how manly and un-gay they are.
But I can't feel too sorry for him cause he's a dick, and he got his just desserts anyway, ahha!
