One of the world's most powerful banking companies appears in a London court today accused of allowing homophobic and racist slurs against a senior employee.

Sid Saeed, a gay man of Pakistani heritage, filed the discrimination case under Britain's new equality law which protects gays and lesbians in the workplace.

In court papers Saeed's lawyer alleges that his client suffered humiliating homophobia and racism from executives at the company that left him ill.

Saeed claims that in 2001 he began to be subjected to racist and homophobic abuse by senior managers. He alleges they called him a “fucking fag” and "mincer boy", "pillow biter" and "gay boy". One senior vice president is accused of calling him a “shit stabber”.

In his claim, Saeed alleges that at a dinner for senior Deutsche executives in early 2001, one said of him in his absence: 'Not only is he a Paki but he is a queer.'

As the old "joke" goes, "A faggot is a homosexual gentleman who has just left the room"...
