[QUOTE="Gabba, post: 4814238, member: 58591"] there was guy in my building that was almost certainly gay that retired a while ago. or quit but he was old enough that he could've retired. not sure if he was open about it, had no direct knowledge of anyone harassing him about it. there's a new guy in our center that is openly gay, lots of other drivers in my center can't help from making dumb homophobic comments about him. i'd be mildly surprised if most people would do it to his face though. there's a few who are completely unashamed about their bigotry. there was a dykey girl a while back that was an insider, i had a little crush on her, (i kinda have a thing for lesbians) and encouraged her to go for being a driver. several people called her a lesbian, but in actuality i'm not sure she really was one. pretty sure the sup who road tested her was being overly critical and didn't pass her because he's a homophobe. a while back i was caught calling a coworker a ":censored:" by a district sup. was just joking cause he had just called me a :censored:. i defended myself by saying it's a compliment and called out the sup for believing that ":censored:" is an insult and demanded him to explain the logic. my coworkers did not agree with me, but they sure got a kick out of me putting the district sup in his place. I'd say yes there is a lot of anti gay hostility among my coworkers. i do what i can, but working class people hate gays more than average. [/QUOTE]
