Key gay employee quits Microsoft, says General Counsel Brad Smith LIED about anti-gay brouhaha

Well, this is getting more interesting by the day.

According to The Stranger, the Seattle alternative weekly that broke the Microsoft story, a leader of Microsoft's gay and lesbian group, GLEAM, has announced his resignation from the company, blasting Microsoft General Counsel for lying about how the company's anti-gay policy developed over the past two months.

Mind you, this is now the 4th or 5th source ,at least, to say the exact same thing, that General Counsel Brad Smith is a liar.

Jeff Koertzen, an operations program manager and the secretary-treasurer of GLEAM, the gay and lesbian group at Microsoft that met on April 4 with Bradford L. Smith, the Microsoft senior vice-president and general counsel at the center of a furor over the company's decision, spoke to The Stranger after giving notice on Monday, May 2. The six-year Microsoft employee said he could no longer work at the company, given his belief that Smith and other company spokespeople are not being honest about what happened.

"I believe [Smith] is lying based on statements he made to us," Koertzen said. "My principles do not allow me to work for a company that does that."
