Starting A LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group

[Adam88]

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to fire people for being gay. These stories frustrate me because every time I hear them I'm forced to doubt their credibility. There are so many people out there who yearn for that victim card so much they make thinks up, or blame their own poor work ethic and subsequent termination on their sexuality. It really sucks because it over shadows people with actual issues because of real bigotry. I used to see this a lot, I never bring my personal life into the workplace, and I've never had any issues. I'll never understand why people will add co-workers to Facebook and the like. It's a recipe for trouble. I've actually called out other gay people for blaming bigotry for their poor work performance, and they lambasted me; "you wouldn't know, you're STRAIGHT!".... oh the irony. I've never talked about my relationships, be it with men or women outside of work in the workplace. If you stick to that, everything works out just fine.
