LGBTQ+ rights in the work force. I think I’m one of the few individuals who don’t prioritize their LGBTQ orientation as my identity into my jobs. I know that people getting fired over their identity is an issue, but it’s something that doesn’t affect me because I don’t parade my identity. I don’t feel it is my job’s business to know it either, I go to work, do the work, they pay me to do the work and that’s the bottom line of our relationship, period.

We don’t need to complicate things because I’m X identity and they need to get into Y politics over it.

    Pretty much all of them. I am a large white male, so I’m part of the privileged class, at least here in the US. Despite belonging to the LBTQIA+ designation, I don’t have to care about how people perceive me, as I’m just too big and white to care. And I’m well aware of that fact. I use that privilege in my own way to protest, denounce and work toward change the best way that I can. I wear skirts, don’t have to give a shit about my hair, and cannot truly empathize with anyone else, in regard to their troubles. I care. I will always do the best that I can to support people who aren’t born into looking like me. People who don’t know my history think I am full of shit or pretending, but that’s ok. They don’t have to know me. All you need to know is that I support you and people like you.
