Straight Guy Sues Craigslist Says Coworkers Solicited Gay Sex for Him

An unnamed plaintiff claiming he was was harassed by coworkers soliciting gay sex for him on Craigslist is suing the classified ads site and his employer, food products giant Foster Farms.

The plaintiff, who works at a dairy farm in Southern California, said his coworkers posted the ads in the site's casual encounters section, including the following post on March 16, 2009.

The ad reads, "Seeking a hot stud for first timer ... recently divorced from my wife, have come to terms with my homo sexuality [sic], and need someone to teach me the right way, and be gentle at the same time, age, race not important ... "

The plaintiff says calls in response to the ads were made to his home over a period of several days, many of them overheard by his wife and daughter. He says the callers asked for sex and made highly offensive and graphic sexual comments and invitations.

Foster Farms is named in the suit because he says he complained about the harassment to supervisors, who did nothing. He says Craigslist is responsible for the ads' content.
