Jesse Jackson is the subject of a gay harassment complaint

A former employee of Jesse Jackson at the Rainbow Push Coalition has filed a bombshell wrongful termination and discrimination complaint against the black leader with the City of Chicago's Commission on Human Rights. The complaint, filed sometime in 2010 by Tommy R. Bennett, a member of Barack Obama's LGBT Leadership Council, includes shocking allegations about Jackson's behavior toward the openly gay staffer including an allegation that the civil rights leader propositioned him. Bennett, 55, claims that Jackson ridiculed him in front of other employees and required him to perform humiliating tasks like escorting women to Jackson's various hotel rooms, cleaning up after alleged trysts and packing his clothing. It also includes an allegation that Jackson asked for oral sex.
