Man Outed as Gay Left With Bad Taste in Mouth

Files can easily be recovered from old phones and PDAs, including smartphones. Don’t dispose of one unless you are certain the data cannot be recovered. Otherwise, don’t complain if someone steals your deleted data or outs you as gay on facebook. Here is a post on how to wipe data from an iPhone/iPad.

From the DenverChannel here:

He left the store just before closing. Not even 30 minutes later, a posting from his old Android phone appeared on his Facebook account. The status message read “I am gay. I’m coming out.” Dewberry didn’t write the posting, nor is he gay.
Dewberry said he accidentally left his Facebook and other accounts logged in on his old phone. When the message was posted his new phone hadn’t even been activated.

“Calls started coming in immediately to my house phone,” Dewberry told 7NEWS Reporter Don Champion. “Friends, ex-spouses, they were all calling.”

Dewberry said the 9:19 p.m. time stamp from the message told him it was a Best Buy employee who made the posting. The next day he called the store and filed a complaint with a manager. Days later Dewberry said he was told the employee involved was fired.

“It just put a bad taste in my mouth,” Dewberry said. “My reputation has been tarnished and they’re responsible for it.”

Being gay puts lots of bad tastes in your mouth. Just ask door-knob licking gay bully Dan Savage.
