Bob is a cook for 'Crispy Wings' Brisbane store - a southern style family owned fried chicken fast-food chain. The chain originally started in Northern Albama in the United States in 2002 by a family 'The Nantucket's' - the family are strict Western Baptists and this shows in the restaurant. All stores in the chain-even internationally in Australia-do not open on Sunday's, or Easter and Christmas, nor do they serve meat in lent. Most controversially they do not employ workers whom identify LGBTIQ+. John as recently started to identify as a gay man, while he does not advertise this, it did not take long for his boss to find out. His boss started to take John off the grill and placed him on cleaning duties-which Bob disliked and thought it was unfair after his 10 years at the chain. He knew something was at foot and complained to the Queensland Human Rights Commission, who started an investigation based on Bob's complaint. When the commission investigated the workplace, Bob's boss suspected he had placed a complaint. Over the next two weeks Bob's boss publicly ridiculed him, calling him many different derogatory terms in front of other workers and swearing at him, and then he eventually fired Bob.
Bob would like to know if he can take any possible action under anti-discrimination legislation?
Can Bob succeed in an action of anti-discrimination?
