So....i work for a catalogue company (Littlewoods) and one of my co-workers constantly refers to me as "The Faggot" under normal circumstances i would think "Oh well just another fucking homophobic arsehole" but...just lately when he's called me "faggot" he's been coming up to me staraight away and putting his arms around me and making thrusting motions....now it's obvious to me this dickhead is so far back in the fucking closet that he's in Narnia....but the killer is that when i complained to my manager she just said "Oh don't be silly he's just having a laugh".... I'm really starting to get fucked off because i feel like because i'm male and gay nobody thinks i could suffer from sexual harassment.... maybe i'm being over dramatic....but it really felt like she just dismissed my complaint. I need a new fucking job....

Oh god, that's really shit :S If that sort of crap continues and no one does anything about it, I'd leave if I were you. That's tight..I mean, no one even calls me a faggot (luckily) but I'd get pissed off if they did. No one should have to go through annoying and disturbing harassment just because of their sexuality! Yeah..even disregarding the faggot thing, going and thrusting on someone is highly inappropriate, and I'm pretty sure that if he were doing it to a woman, he'd be out of a job pretty fast You're not being overdramatic. There's no reason why you should enjoy something like that/find it acceptable.

You shouldn't have to put up with shit like that - it is sexual harrassment and if he did that to a woman he would be sacked - I mean how would your manager feel if that happened to her? Try asking her that and see how she'd react
Calling you "The Faggot" is disgraceful enough but doing the thrusting things is absolutely shocking

thats shocking. and completely wrong - the point is his actions make you feel like you're being harrassed. therefore its sexual harrassment, end of. he might think he's "only having a laugh" but thats not the point, your reaction is.
mate don't let it lie, speak to her again, or is there something else in authority you can take it to? or even the union?

i would go to your bosses boss and so on until someone listens. Or your HR department ... they are bound, by law, to take all such complaints very seriously. No-one should have to tolerate this kind of behaviour anywhere at anytime.

Personally I'd play him at his own game & bend the fucker over & give him a good thrusting back.

I agree with Pete, if your manager won't listen, take it to her manager and so on until someone listens.
Don't just leave and let it go...make sure something is done first.
I used to work in HR...ANY complaints HAVE to be dealt with.

By the way does anyone think it's interesting (and wrong), that this twat can do that to a a gay guy and it's "just having a laugh"...yet if the same twat was doing it to a woman, it would be considered completely wrong and he'd probably be sacked on the spot. I thought everyone had equal rights now?

I thought everyone had equal rights now? It odd you say that because i find it goes one of two ways for me.....(oh god i've just given xuenilom another double entendre!!) People are either too nice and helpful because they don't want to upset the gay guy (''cos we're all soooo touchy you know....thank you Will and Grace!) or i get totally dismissed because of my sexual preferences.....almost like i'm not a real person or my point is not valid because i'm gay.
