A man who posted
his résumé on the job-seeking Web site
CareerBuilder.com became involved in a spiteful e-mail
exchange with an Army recruiter who was interested in
hiring him before finding out he was gay. TheJersey Journal of Jersey City, N.J., reported
Monday that recruiting sergeant Marcia Ramode fired off
several messages to New Jersey resident Corey Andrew
for three days after he told her he was not interested
in joining the military because of its “don’t
ask, don’t tell” policy against gays serving
openly in the military.
She told Andrew,
who is black, “Go back to Africa and do your gay
voodoo limbo tango and wango dance and jump around and
prance and run all over the place half naked
there.” She also told Andrew, using her military
e-mail address, that being gay is immoral and that he must
be “a total idiot and so stupid to presume that
you do not know what gender you are."
Andrew fired
back, according to the article, criticizing her poor grammar
and spelling. He also took a jab at her admitted Native
American heritage, writing, “So take that to
your next rain dance.” Ramode’s actions
are under review by the Army Recruiting Command’s
staff judge advocate. (The Advocate)
