Cleveland Fire investigating firefighter after anti-gay Facebook comments

http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/cleveland-metro/cleveland-fire-investigating-firefighter-after-anti-gay-facebook-comments

The Facebook photo on the popular Humans of New York page that has gone viral sparked some outrage — and launched an investigation — after anti-gay comments made by a Cleveland firefighter.

Among more than 58,000 comments under the teary 13-year-old boy's photo, including one from presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, there are several from Guy Estergall, a 26-year veteran of the Cleveland Fire Department.

One reads, "You're mentally ill Andrew, just like this kid and the rest of the immoral homosexuals and their supporters."

Another, states in part, "The overwhelming majority of pedophiles are homosexuals. You need to get the professional psychiatric help you need to become normal."
