The way Texas sees it, six months of job probation and a written reprimand is all Trooper Michael Carlson needs for harassing a gay couple.
Corvino, who now teaches at Wayne State University in Detroit, said in a complaint filed with DPS shortly after the Sept. 16 incident the trooper approached him and his male companion while they sat a park bench.The men responded that they were "just hanging out" when Carlson asked what they were doing, the complaint said. Corvino said he tried to tell Carlson that they were not breaking the law, but he said the trooper told them again that "homosexual conduct is against the law."
"We won't have you doing this on Capitol grounds," Carlson told the men, according to the complaint.
