Peter Marino, the leather-clad architect best known for his collaborations with fashion labels, was sued last year for racial discrimination by a former employee. Now, he's accusing the employee of making homophobic slurs, according to a report by the New York Post.
Deirdre O'Brien worked for Marino for 14 years before, allegedly, being fired after complaining when Marino called her a "c--t." He's also been accused of using the n-word.
In response, Marino has accused O'Brien called a male co-worker a "big homo" and sent "explicit pornographic images" from her work email address.

There was a time before invisible sky daddies afterall.
not really. since the dawn of people, people have been at the mercy of the weather and the seasons. the abrahamic view of sky daddy may be somewhat different than the more primal 'i need rain to make corn' or 'it's cold and i'm going to die' sky daddy, but it all stems from the same 'i look up.'
I hear ya curt, but still, sky daddies are the invention of humans so there must have been a time prior to the conscious identification of patterns and their anthropomorphic labeling. I'm sure I've read a piece by Diamond on this subject. Just can't quite remember where/when.
"What's this wetness from the sky? Good thing I've sacrificed 14 lemurs per day during the dry season. The great teapot has listened!"
So does the god get those lemurs as pets in heaven??? If I were God I would give you rain for 14 cuddly pet lemurs! Good deal if you ask me.
I believe that is how it works Jla-x.
