Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has fired Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran due to Cochran’s distribution of a self-published book called Who Told You You Were Naked? Via the Atlanta-Journal Constitution:
“Among what city leaders said were troubling remarks in the fire chief’s book was a description of homosexuality as a “perversion” akin to bestiality and pederasty. Reed said in November that such writings were inconsistent with the city’s employment policies and opened an investigation into potential discrimination within the fire department.”
Cochran had been put on a 30 day unpaid suspension for distributing the book in December. When he returned, he said he would continue to distribute the text, so Mayor Reed terminated him.
