Chicago Sun-Times:  Jesse Jackson denies gay worker’s harassment, discrimination claims

"Bennett claims he worked for PUSH starting in July 2007, and was both an organizer and Jackson’s travel assistant. In his complaint, Bennett — who also goes by the name “Aruba Tommy” — said he experienced discrimination almost immediately, including from a woman at PUSH who refused to work for him because of his sexual orientation, according to the complaint.

"Bennett also claims he was forced to escort women for Jackson into hotel rooms — and later clean up the rooms.

"Bennett claims he received a letter in December 2009, in which he was told he was being laid off due to a “lack of funding.” But Bennett alleges someone else was then hired to replace him."
