Homo-Gate at HSBC
Peter Lewis, the former global head of equity trading at HSBC in London, is suing his ex-employer for five million pounds on the grounds that he was discriminated against for being gay. The suit follows Lewis’ dismissal after another employee complained that he had been sexually harrassed by Lewis. Homophobia on Wall Street? What a shocker! In our experience, guys who work on Wall Street are among the most tolerant, open-minded people we know. NOT! Of course, for all we know, Lewis grabbed the guy’s package.
