I am curious of other men's experience with discrimination and whether they have personally been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation however small or large an incident it may have been.
I'd like to make something perfectly clear: I'm not trying to blame the victim. Also, I know full well that plenty of people don't think gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer, and questioning people are their equal--socially, legally, morally, whatever.
But I will say that if you demand to be treated as an equivalent member of the human race, it's more likely that you will be.
I worked for a window company a couple years ago. Never had done that kind of construction before.
Yes, I will never be an administrator in my field because I am gay. I have to watch complete idiots pass me by. It is difficult. I do my job well and I just try to focus on the positive day to day but it is hard. I can't stand to hear them say they are concerned with equal rights blah blah blah. My frined sthink it is less about being gay and more about them just wanting other dumb people around them...who knows.
Amen brothers and sisters.
I sometimes come off as femmy..and I get taken advantage of often.
I've even had counter guys laugh and snicker and walk away from the parts counter.
Doesn't do much for self esteem, I can tell you that!
SEARS in my locale is like a ghost town store in the mall.
Wait, Sears is still in business?
