Streets of New York
Law firms are allegedly discriminating against homosexuals in New York. At least that's what one gay attorney at a high-end firm is claiming, and he wants to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.
Charney claims that one of the firm's partners, Eric Krautheimer, threw a document at his feet and told him to "bend over and pick it up — I'm sure you like that" and that partner Alexandra Korry falsely accused him of "carrying on an 'unnatural' homosexual relationship with another male S&C associate," according to court documents.
The actual article seems quite suspicious of Mr. Chaney, and his alleged abuse at the hands of these "Partners." After all, in order to make Partner at a firm it's been well documented that one must sell one's soul to the devil. We are the legal profession, are we not? What's different here?
Then I remembered (as I'm writing this because I'm brilliant) that a certain David Lat aka the former Underneath Their Robes always has the inside goods on the legal profession. Always. Sure enough his blawg has all the breaking news on this lovely gem, Charney v. S&C. So far the advice is sound. Judge not until all is known.
