"Max":
Did he get his name from a hairdryer?

Disasterprone, since when does what you wear affect your ability to make/receive telephone calls? If it's specified only as permissible for employees to wear what they want on a given day; then they really don't have good grounds for abusing a perceived breach of said vague instruction, as an excuse for ignorance, homophobia, and bullying.

In dp's defence...
...he didn't say the guy came in wearing make-up on a 'casual' day, nor did he say it was at a call centre - the person in question could've been working in a customer-facing role, in which case there will be a specific set of guidelines that need to be met and meeting them will be a part of that person's terms of employment.

That said, if the guy in question was fired for wearing make-up on a 'casual' day at a call centre, then that is atrocious and I hope he sued for wrongful dismissal.
