Welcome to the real world, Moriden, where sexual innuendo, flirting, and horseplay are not tolerated in the workplace. So, learn the lesson, grow up, and find a new job.

What you describe does not come even remotely close to qualifying as a wrongful termination.

A wrongful termination does not mean one that is unfair, unjust, unexpected, based on incorrect or inaccurate information, or in the large majority of cases, one that is in violation of company policy. In order to legally qualify as a wrongful termination, it has to be ILLEGAL for the employer to fire you, for the reason he does.

Nothing whatsoever in the law forbids an employer from terming an employee for engaging in sexual or flirtatious behavior.
