It sounds like you feel your lesbian colleague should have been banned from your workplace because ... of what exactly?

Surely you have also worked with heterosexuals that make you laugh/cringe/angry?
Should they have also been banned from your workplace because you didn't get on?

ps. I'm not homosexual; I have five kids, but I'm no bigot either.

She was a fascist. She was out to get every straight, white, politically right, male in the department. At first, HR department catered to her every complaint. Me, my coworker friends, all got the standard sexual harrassment lecture from our managers at some point due to her "sensitivities". I would say it was an agenda. A chip on her shoulder. Only after about 2 years, HR finally got wise I guess and moved her out of the department, back in the far corner of the building. I guess they were afraid to fire her in fear of getting sued. That's what it's like in the real world buddy. Sorry if you think I'm a bigot. Don't really care. Everything I said up there is absolute fact. No embellishment. We also had a homo in the department. I got along with him fine. I don't know where he was politically and I didn't care. He didn't push the homo agenda either. Just a co-worker I got along with and a brain and a sense of humor. But I also knew he would probably fudge pack me if I was willing. You sense these things. So, I made sure to keep a distance, so he didn't get any funny ideas.
