Current Events > Man, I've never met bigger homophobes irl than my two co-workers.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah, I'm pretty triggered. I'm just annoyed that I have to hear this shit every day. Every single one of their conversations always steer to homosexuality somehow. It's all they talk about sometimes.
A few facts that I've learned just listening to them:

If a man eats a banana, then he's probably gay.
If a dude have anal sex with a woman, he's secretly gay.
Mohawks was started by gay guys, apparently, so anybody wearing that style is associated with gay guys.
Only gay guys call girls cute.
Apparently, everything makes you gay.

They casually drop the F-word when describing gay people (gay men to be precise) but insists that they "don't care what gay people do" despite outright expressing how they don't want to be around or associated with gay people.

You should just report them to HR and get them fired

Then they have a hot makeout session as soon as you leave

My stepdad literally said to a gay man, "so how's that working out for you?".
---

Do you say anything about it to them?
---

Sound like self haters to me, just playing the denial game.
---

Oh no, people expressing their opinions to one another, the horror.

Get over yourself.

Keep track of their conversations. Document what they're talking about and how often.

In two weeks, report to them your findings. Give them detailed information, even write down a few quotes. Explain to them exactly how much time per work day they spend talking about gay men. Say that you mentioned this to a gay family member of yours, and tell them he said "Holy shit, even the gayest dudes I know don't talk about being gay THAT much, and they LOVE sex with other guys."

Watch their faces crash.

How unpleasant of a person does one have to be to defend bigotry?

Are you in a state where it's legal to film conversations without consent? If so, do that.

If not,

Sometimes they invite other people into their conversations. I've argued with them on the subject here and there about the things I've disagreed with them saying.
The younger guy I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Has to be around 18 and still maturing. He actually take into account some of the things I say and he actually agree with me on things.

But the other dude (he have to be a few years older than me) is just a straight up homophobe with beliefs like how it should be fine to attack a gay person who tells him verbally that they find him attractive because they "tried" him and that the whole life style in general "isn't" right. All while denying he hates gay people. It hurts my brain.

How much of a thin skinned social reject does one have to be to demand the curbing of speech of others simply because they don't like it?

The workplace have a policy against shit like that. You'd know that if you had a job though.

Edit: Oh, it's just some clown on an alt. Continue spewing shit out of your mouth, I won't pay any mind.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia and I have actually been considering this. I'm just not aware of the laws and stuff around it. The whole thing with Squader kind of made me think twice.

Yeah, and some countries have laws that demand you kill homosexuals. Just because it's something put into place doesn't mean it's something to be followed.

Its an issue because they could easily have a co worker who is in the closet. If they were saying the same stuff in a racially charged way, I think everyone would agree they should be referred to HR. If your workplace has anything like that, report them.

Oh yeah to be clear I don't mean actually record them. I just mean write it down somewhere. Notebook or in your phone. It sounds like a lot of work but I think the payoff is worth it.

I know I'm not the only one who have an issue with it.

start eating bananas by deep throating them, gagging a bit. Maybe get a pair of marbles to roll around in your hand while eating the banana. While making eye contact eat a twinky then get some of the creamy center on your face and make noises. etc.

they're probably secretly gay
---

Yeah I hear the "If you do anal sex then you're gay" thing a lot.

Curious that it doesn't apply to BJs

The funny thing; the older dude have no problem calling other people gay over stupid stuff or why you would be gay for liking such and such. But if you even jokingly call him gay, he gets aggressively defensive. He almost nearly attacked one of the other guys for just playing around with him.

99% sure these guys are gay

Why do you keep using have wrong in your sentences?

If you like having a job, you better follow the workplace's rules.

I know your types like to use "freedom of speech" as a shorthand for "I want to say whatever offensive thing I want", but come on.

If you are a straight man who likes women you have an oedipus complex.

I,honestly, got you and the other dude's post mixed up >_>
But yeah, I wouldn't mind calling up HR. The only thing about that is they would immediately know I was the one who reported them since I seem to be the only person that calls them out on that. I don't give a fuck though.
