Boulder Hospital Told Gay Staffer to Remove Rainbow Flag Screen Saver or Be Fired, So She Quit

8. Yes, I'm aware since I used to work for an IT company.

It would be interesting to know whether any other employees at the hospital were using non-approved screensavers. I doubt that the complaint against the dietitian was because the screensaver was not on the sanctioned list though.

From the various stories that I've read there was no mention of computer security as an issue I believe the complaint was a matter of the co-worker being offended by the symbolism of the rainbow flag and I wouldn't be surprised if the two employees had some animosity with each other.

It would also be interesting to know if the person that removed the rainbow flag screensaver was from the IT department or if it was removed by the co-worker that reported the incident. If there was a security concern then it should be removed by the IT department to check the computer (and network) for malware.
