John is an openly gay man. he constantly teases his co-worker, paul, telling him that he should go ahead and "come out of the closet." he has even publicly commented about how sexually attractive paul is, though paul has warned him against making such comments. however, paul does not have a claim for sexual harassment because john is a male.

The correct answer is "false". 

Paul can claim  sexual harassment for John, since even male employees can experience sexual harassment inside the work place. Sexual Harassment may be described as sexual actions or words that can affect a person and may cause discomfort. Sexual Harassment can also be known as the act of rewarding or giving something in-exchange for someone in exchange of something sexual.
