SoCal CEO Says He Was Fired for not Being Gay

SAN DIEGO (CN) - Stepping Stone, a San Diego rehab center, fired its CEO because he isn't gay, the man claims in court.

John de Miranda sued Stepping Stone of San Diego and seven members of its board of directors in Superior Court.

"Stepping Stone's primary mission is to serve the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community by providing drug and alcohol addiction recovery services," Miranda says in the complaint.

He adds: "Stepping Stone and the board of directors terminated his employment because he is not gay, and because of the board's belief that having a president and chief executive who is not gay decreases Stepping Stone's fund-raising opportunities."

3. Me too

Keeping him on for four years before firing him just doesn't jive with te story as of yet.

2. Well that's certainly one side of a story

Be interesting to see what the other side is; if they choose to say anything.

I don't think you have to be gay to be want to help LGBT people overcome drug and alcohol abuse.
