Tuesday evening, Queers4Gears.com contacted me about getting Red Bull to respond to Red Bull Racing Team's Jeremy Fuller tweeting anti-gay remarks upon seeing signs for San Francisco Pride on Sunday. Before I could respond, Red Bull did so, and they've ended Fuller's employment, saying "Red Bull Racing Team was made aware of comments posted to a contractor’s Twitter account following this weekend’s race. After investigating the matter, Red Bull Racing Team terminated the contractor’s employment effective immediately. The race team regularly conducts diversity training and strictly enforces our team policies against any form of discrimination. We have zero tolerance for such violations and in no way support any of the comments posted by this individual." Employers, take note.
