Man sues sex shop who said he wasn't gay enough

A 30-year-old straight man says he was fired for not being gay, or gay enough, while working at Suzie's Adult Superstore in California.

Michael Beaton, 30, filed a lawsuit against Suzie's Adult Superstore. A plumber by trade, Michael says he couldn't find work in this tough economy, so he took the job at Suzie's.



"I was a security guard, cleaned up the premises, and did a little loss prevention work," he said. He says a manager recommended he apply for a sales job.

"I did the test. I did really good on the test, and a couple of months had gone by, and then I had gone back to the manager and asked him what was the deal. I was told flat out that I wasn't the 'gay boy' they were looking for; they were looking for someone who was more gay," explained Beaton.
