Re: My Boss is Gay
His sexual orientation is not supposed to have anything to do with it Bebo...you're right!
The problem is, for some odd reason he goes out of his way to make sure everyone within nuclear fallout range of him knows he is gay.
This is exactly what I told my HR lady today...Im not supposed to know what he is. That is his business and it needs to stay his business. But when you come to work and the first thing out of your mouth is "Gosh Nick, arent we looking quite sexy...dont come near me today sweetie!"...it just makes things a bit ICKY!
To top it all off, his remark to me was out of line. I feel he treats his homosexuality as a weapon...he lashes out whenever he chooses to and because he is gay and a minority...we are supposed to tolerate it. How unfair is that? Ive worked alongside people for years at a time and never even knew what their sexual orientation was...its a matter of professionalism.
What if I started making derogatory comments to people and when they lashed back...accused them of being prejudiced towards Muslims? (Im the only Musilm in my department.) Im using my religion as a weapon against people who never had a problem with me in the first place.
