Skycap Fired For Broadcasting Anti Gay Messages
A gay couple at a Ft Lauderdale airport were shocked to hear quotes from Leviticus on the airport PA system, advocating killing gay men.

A little investigation turned up the culprit:


http://www.miamiherald.com/884/story/99486.html

Jethro Monestime, 23, was fired Monday for a stunt he pulled six days earlier -- broadcasting an anti-gay message over the public address system at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

***

The Broward Sheriff's Office investigated and Monestime confessed. Because he worked for a private contractor, Broward officials could not fire him. But his employer, Superior Aircraft Services, did.

***

Monestime told BSO he downloaded the message to his cellphone and played it over the loudspeakers -- not once but twice -- about 1 a.m. May 1.

Anthony Niedwiecki and Waymon Hudson, a gay couple from Oakland Park, had just stepped off a late-night United Airlines flight from Chicago. Niedwiecki and Hudson said they felt threatened by the message.
