Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2014 11:17 pmHere is a blog post written by Tim Torkildson, the person allegedly fired over this. Who, darkly amusingly enough seems a conservative (see his description at the bottom of the post), before the comments.
The School in question ignored at least one request for further information on this
ETA, looking at the blog, I think the guy is a bit flaky. I don't think it warranted him being fired though.
according to the Salt Lake Tribune his boss said
SO, yeah it seems to be true.

Woodger says his reaction to Torkildson’s blog has nothing to do with homosexuality but that Torkildson had caused him concern because he would "go off on tangents" in his blogs that would be confusing and sometimes could be considered offensive.
Nomen is Utah’s largest private English as a Second Language school and caters mostly to foreign students seeking admission to U.S. colleges and universities. Woodger says his school has taught 6,500 students from 58 countries during the past 15 years. Most of them, he says, are at basic levels of English and are not ready for the more complicated concepts such as homophones.
"People at this level of English," Woodger says, " … may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex."
He says Torkildson had worked at the center for less than three months before he was terminated in mid-July.
SO, yeah it seems to be true.

Did you say Gay Threat? OMG! Call the authorities. Call the police. We can't allow these sort of things to happen in public and in front of everyone too.
