The two aren't even remotely related. Being gay is a strictly individual choice that has no effect on the employee's performance or that of other employees. Sleeping with the spouse of a co-worker immediately and intimately involves the co-worker and is devastating to them. I don't even begin to see how you could compare the two.

Sleeping with someone's spouse is far more of a choice than being gay.

[Karn]

That too. I didn't bring that up because comparing the two is completely illogical and doesn't merit discussion.

The boss has learned something about you and now he doesn't like you. Your work performance has not changed. Should the boss fire you?

[Karn]

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

"The boss has learned something about you and now he doesn't like you. Should the boss fire you?"

Like has nothing to do with it. Are you seriously suggesting that the matter under discussion is one of a boss not _liking_ an employee? "Oh, he slept with my wife, I really don't like that guy."

I'll take your question at face value and give you some examples.

If the boss doesn't like you because you are gay/introverted/unsocial/not into sports/don't make a good drinking partner/refuse to perform sexual favors - no, the boss shouldn't fire you.

If you slept with the boss's wife or a co-worker's wife, then you have no place on a team and yes, you need to be fired.
