Detailed accusations of gay harassment by the Rev Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition came to light Thursday.

The claims, published in the Windy City Times, are by a former coalition employee who says he was mistreated, and eventually fired, because he is gay.

During that time, he had a job in community affairs that he loved, according to the Windy City Times, and later a job he did not as the Rev. Jesse Jackson`s travel assistant.

In a formal complaint Bennett claims he had to escort women to Jackson`s room and clean up his room after sexual intercourse with women.
