My guess is that someone has already taken matters into his/her own hands, check out his blog (redirected to from Beau's domain mentioned in the post): http://opensourcestaffing.wordpress.com/ The latest post is (probably) not of his own doing I would say.
His blog is now marked as private and requires a login

hum, just last week he was trying to create a page on job4dev to post "listings" with no information whatsoever about any of the actual companies that were hiring. Usually our moderation system is enough to stop recruiters to add vacuous pages to the wiki. But he went ahead and start spamming the comment pages anyway. Sometimes I wonder if it would be possible to add to job4dev a service that would turn recruiters in…
Did you ever consider the possibility that "Beau" is not actually a recruiter, but rather a mid-level troll with a creative cover story?

This guy is all over the NYC tech recruiting scene. I have some 20 emails from him over various tech mailing lists. Funny thing is, even though I see 4 or 5 emails a day from recruiters, his name is so unique I actually remembered him! I don't think people should be crucified for single outbursts, but it's safe to say that this guy is on a tear and needs taking down.

Actually in the US it is not illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation. There may be laws in New York state prohibiting it, I don't know. But in most of the US it is totally legal to post a job listing saying "Programmers wanted. No fags allowed." It is pretty despicable.
There is, and ought to be, a difference between 'wrong' and 'illegal.'
The only thing the government can do to effect change in the actions of the people in the world is by the threat of jail if you do (e.g. steal) or do not do (e.g. pay taxes) something. That's all they can do.
For every problem the government "fixes", someone is losing a freedom or liberty that they once had.
For almost all of the problems in the world caused by the behaviors of humans, more laws are almost never the solution.
I'm glad Gould got called out on this; he probably just lost himself a lot of future business by being so cocky.
Called out on Hacker News and similarly hacker-y circles... that's not exactly the "$50K in NYC" demographic.
