Open Question: Being threatened by someone at work with the same title as me.?
So I had went to HR on a previous employee. Me being an assistant manager I went to HR on said employee for calling my crew members the N word and well as calling me a fgt. Said employee was terminated but he was also friends with another manager. This manager is in his 50s and an ex felon. His buddy was a pedophile. He himself just got promoted to my title about 2 weeks ago. Now, that said I am lgbt in the State of TN we don’t have work protection yet. That’ll surely be soon. My issue is I went to HR on that manager the same time as that employee the manager got to stay for some unknown reason. Yesterday I went to my boss because that said manager had sexually harassed about 6 female employees at the job site. My boss said he needed to hear it from them not me. Apparently one of the females who said something also told that a manager she complained on that I went and took appropriate steps of actions to resolve it. Which he absolutely despised and then he started to threaten me, to kill me and to have ex employee help. I have people who have heard the conversation I also posted on FB on how I was threatened and that I was done. Not mentioning the actual business itself. What do I do?? EEOC? Lawsuit I cannot afford? I have PTSD and this jut makes it a lot worse. That same manage tried to blackmail me as will saying I better air or else. I don’t give in to blackmail what so ever.

WATCH: Kansas Teacher Who Showed Pro-LGBT Antibullying Video Returning to Classroom
WATCH: Kansas Teacher Who Showed Pro-LGBT Antibullying Video Returning to Classroom
School officials in Conway Springs, Kan., announced the teacher who said he was asked to resign, for showing an antibullying video that has a pro-LGBT theme, is returning to the classroom following two weeks of administrative leave, reported Wichita TV station KWCH.
Thomas Leahy showed his eighth-grade history classes last month a short film, Love Is All You Need, as a lesson on tolerance. The movie portrays a heterosexual girl raised in a world where everyone else is homosexual. The girl is bullied so severely that she takes her own life at the end of the film.
Media attention, including newspaper and TV reports in which Leahy told reporters he had been asked to resign, sparked a petition with close to 3,000 signatures to have him reinstated.
Leahy and the district released a joint statement Saturday after canceling a scheduled news conference:
“Both parties agree to the statements below and both agree not to make any further statements about the topic.
“As was reported previously, Mr. Leahy chose to show a film in his classroom that became controversial due to the graphic content shown to 8th graders. Mr. Leahy has stated that he knew the film might be controversial and has agreed that he should have checked with the administration prior to showing the film. He also agrees that some of his comments made in the classroom after the film added to the controversy.
“The school district and Mr. Leahy agreed that he would be on leave for 10 days from the classroom. During this leave, both sides consulted legal counsel and facts were gathered and rumors were eliminated to make sure all information was available prior to making any decisions. The legal advice was used throughout this process to determine what further action, if any, was needed.
“Many rumors have floated around during the leave time. We would like to address some of those:
“It was posted that Mr. Leahy had been fired — this never happened.
“It was also posted that Mr. Leahy was being forced to resign. That never happened. Mr. Leahy was considering resigning at one time, but decided not to do so. There was never a forced resignation in this process.
“Many posts were made about why some parents were upset with the showing of the video. The fact is that the vast majority of complaints were about the graphic suicide scene and some of the comments made after the film had ended.
“In closing, we want to point out that from the start of this issue, Mr. Leahy was on two weeks leave. That never changed. At the end of the two week period, he will be allowed back in the classroom with some safeguards in place to make sure the students in the classroom are okay which is our number one concern.
“Mr. Leahy and the school district want to make this our final statements on this issue. We will have no further comment on the topic.”

Logo Premieres 'Gen Silent' Documentary Featuring LGBT Elders
Logo Premieres 'Gen Silent' Documentary Featuring LGBT Elders
Aging as a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community can be an isolating — and oftentimes dehumanizing — experience.
A powerful new documentary from Logo looks at the LGBT community’s relationship with aging and the massive generational gap that seems to exist between queer youth and their elders.
Called “Gen Silent,” the film follows six queer seniors living in Boston, Massachusetts, and brings to light stories from the early days of mainstream LGBT activism. It also examines the way that queer seniors are often forced to go “back into the closet” by institutions they rely on for care, like nursing homes. Older queer people are also disproportionately forced to age alone, due to factors like broken relationships with families of origin and decisions not to have children.
The Huffington Post chatted with “Gen Silent” director Stu Maddux this week about his experiences working on the film and some of the most compelling realities he witnessed about life as an aging member of the queer community.
Why is it important to elevate the stories and lives of elders in the LGBT community?
Stu Maddux: I have never felt as proud about who I am — cis gay man here — as when I come face to face with the person who made my community step by step, day by day from absolutely nothing. I don’t hang out with them because I “owe it” to my LGBT elders. I do it because I owe it to myself. Knowing them is when I truly understand the word “Pride.” That’s when I really feel it. Talking with them helps me solve how to take the world they are handing me, keep making it better and pass it on to people who will come after me.
What were some of the most compelling realities you witnessed about life for these LGBT elders?
The isolation was just… can’t describe it. We queer folk don’t have a patent on growing old alone but we definitely get a double dose of it because our support group is smaller. Even now, it’s more likely you have a brother or sister who has “issues” with you and won’t be there for you in the crunch, or that you lost a lot friends from AIDS in the 80s/90s, or maybe you just don’t want the married with children life. All of these things made me realize that it’s extra important to fill my life starting now with people who will really love me enough to wipe my bottom later on. Did I just say that? Yup. It’s true though.
Do you think that there is a problem with queer youth not respecting their elders?
When people say queer youth don’t respect their elders, I kind of cock my head. Like, where exactly could all this disrespecting be taking place? Thanksgiving dinner? When is there even an opportunity for us to spend enough time together where it would happen? A Bat Mitzvah? To their credit, many LGBT and pride centers are bridging the super-sized LGBT intergenerational gap with programs, but we have no way at the moment to really get to know our elders on the same level we know our straight grandparents. I wonder if the feeling of disrespect that many older LGBT people feel is really a feeling of being invisible. Because when I talk to queer youth, most really want to connect with older LGBT people. It feels more like there is a fence both sides are reaching across right now. Taking the wire cutters to it is even more important for marginalized communities like ours because without the voice of experience our movement will just reinvent the wheel every generation.
What did you personally take away from working on this project?
I was given these glasses that let me to see the young, fun, fascinating queer person behind a few wrinkles. I highly recommend a pair. Available at all fine Pride centers with a senior program.
“Gen Silent” will premiere on Monday, Nov. 9, 2015 at 9 P.M. ET/PT on Logo. The network is also launching a campaign called “Blogging for LGBT Elders Day” in partnership with Mombian.com to coincide with the film — head here for more information.

To all the naysayers who said there could never be a gay James Bond, the ceiling has been officially busted through.
By ‘officially’ we of course mean ‘unofficially,’ but that doesn’t make this brilliantly well-executed recut of a James Bond/Jason Bourne clandestine love affair any less satisfying to imagine.

50 Cent Hits Back At Vivica A. Fox After She Implies He’s Gay: WATCH
50 Cent Hits Back At Vivica A. Fox After She Implies He’s Gay: WATCH
On Sunday night’s Watch What Happens Live!, Vivica A. Fox implied that rapper 50 Cent is gay, causing 50 to fire back at the actress on Twitter and Instagram.
Host Andy Cohen asked Fox about the suggestion 50 made that Empire season 2 has seen a drop in ratings because of too much “gay stuff.” Of her ex-beau, Fox said, “First of all, pot calling the kettle black is all I’m saying.” Real Housewife of Atlanta Kandi, who was also a guest on WWHL, was taken aback by Fox’s remark: “Woah! That was some tea. That was some shade. That was major shade.” Andy couldn’t seem to handle the implication either, fanning himself as the questioning proceeded.
Expanding on her insinuation, Fox said, “He just seems like he’s got something that’s not quite clear.” She then added, “I’ll just never forget there was a Vibe cover with him and Soulja Boy that made me go ‘Hm.’ […] He just looked like a bootysnatcher on that one to me.” Fox also said that cover was done after the two dated.
The cover in question is from 2010:
50 Cent and Soulja Boy were quick to fire back on social media with a series of unflattering photos of and insinuations about Fox.
50 Cent re-grammed that photo and also shared it with a caption of his own, responding to Fox’s comments on WWHL: “
Oh No!!!, 
Now she thinks I’m gay because I let her lick my A**. 
LMAO. Wait,I didn’t want her to,she forced me, my hands were tied. 50 shades of grey 
”
He went on to warn Fox that he is an internet troll and an “a**hole.”
50 Cent also attacked Fox for allegedly having a “really bad boob job” and wrote, “b[*t]ch remember when you told me fuck Halle Berry and you could have played all the roles she did better then her? And I just looked at you like what the f*ck kind 
sh*t did you take?LMAO. #FRIGO#SMSAUDIO“
50 then attributed Fox’s comments to typical Hollywood gossip.
Fox was having none of 50’s remarks, responding on Twitter that she has “more stories” she could share about 50:
They asked me about him n I answered the question! Mkay

Regarding Soulja Boy, Fox said on Twitter that she apologizes for making any insinuation about him.
Let me say this!! Wasn’t speaking about @souljaboy only my EX and his antics! I apologize for that to @souljaboy t.co/32oy4AH4gY
— Vivica A. Fox (@MsVivicaFox) November 9, 2015
As for 50’s comments about Empire that sparked this latest conflagration, his publicist responded:
“Mr. Jackson reposted something on Instagram that originated from a blog in relation to the decrease in Empire’s ratings. When he realized there was additional content in the blog post that he did not agree with, he immediately deleted the post as that is not a reflection of his views at all.”
