Gary and Steve are opposite as two people can be except each is the top performer in the company. Gary is gay and Steve straight.  One day Gary  complained to his supervisor that Steve, says annoying things when Gary passes Steve's cubicle.
According to Gary Steve makes sexually suggestive remarks  like "Nice buns" or "Nice basket." or "I'd let you 'do' me, even if I am straight.
Steve also shows Gary pictures of handsome men from his sports magazine and snidely remarks  "I bet you wouldn't throw him out for eating crackers!" or "I bet you'd like to see his baseballs!"
Gary finds this offensive; he is in a long-term relationship and has no interest in Steve . He is angry and insulted when pictures are shoved in his face along with suggestive comments.
Gary demands that something be done or he will seek legal advice.
The supervisor shows up at your door, as HR Director.
"Can he really sue over jokes and magazines?" he says. "Federal law doesn't protect against anti-gay discrimination, does it? Can't I tell him he has to live with this?"
the 'twist' in this hypothetical is that the "straight" employee does not really have any sexual interest in the gay employee. It doesn't fit the usual situation (e.g., a male supervisor "hitting on" his female secretary, who fears for her job if she complains to anyone).
