“It Was Only Curiosity” - Can That Be Homophobic?

2026-09-0836:35

An employee has raised allegations of repeated homophobic comments from their manager, some allegedly witnessed by other managers. They’ve also raised concerns about sexual harassment from a colleague and homophobic abuse from a customer. But instead of investigating properly, a senior manager suggests the comments might have been “innocent curiosity” and questions whether the manager could really be homophobic because the comments were only directed at this particular employee. What should the employer actually be doing? Listen to the latest HR:ER to find out. Our Unified Offering brings employment software, legal advice, CPD training and £250k of protection together in one simple solution - so you’re prepared when employment issues arise. https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/james146? /
