Fired Worker On Gov. McCrory: ‘He Was Hating On Me For Being A Fag'

-snip-

In more than one post, Swope referred to McCrory as a "fag." The openly gay Swope said those insults were motivated by what he detected as prejudice from McCrory.

"When he started yelling at me, it was a sudden turn because I made sort of a swishy move," Swope said. "I’ve been discriminated against a lot, and I can see that moment when someone just suddenly goes ballistic because of this other thing, not what you said or did."

He acknowledged that he "can’t get inside [McCrory's] mind," but is certain that homophobia was at work.

"I don’t know what he was thinking, but I’ll tell you from man to man: He was hating on me for being a fag," Swope said.
