Contractor busted on hidden camera slurring a gay couple
A city contractor who was caught on camera making hateful comments about a gay couple – calling them “dope smokin’ queers” – been fired.
Bobby Elder said that the incident happened last Friday as contractors for the city’s water department worked outside of his home in Tulsa.
“I’m used to them working out there and always been very friendly in passing,” he told KTUL, saying that’s why he was “really shocked by what I heard on Friday.”
One of the contractors went up to the door of his house, where Elder lives with his partner. His partner answered the door and the contractor informed him that the water would be turned off for some time for repairs.
