UC soclogy rearch unvers the hierarchil strategi gay men e to manage their genr and sexual inti the workplace. * gay at the office *

One inty was that of an openly gay man, eply love wh his boyiend, bnch, and Beyoncé. That inty, the actualized versn of a gay man I had always hoped to bee and fally did, never entered the workplace, however. I was hired by a startup s early stag, and quickly learned two thgs my first week: I was the first and only openly gay man hired by the pany, and the all-male management had no ia I wasn’t sexually terted women.

I didn’t know at the time, but I wasn’t alone worryg about standg out for the wrong reasons as the only gay man the office.

I wasn’t worried about havg supportive lleagu or LGBTQ peers: I was hell-bent on extractg everythg I uld get out of this opportuny for my reer, even if turned out I was once aga the only openly gay man the office. I was workg the largt edorial team I had ever been a part of New York Cy, at one of the olst news magaz the natn, and yet I was the only openly gay man at the publitn’s headquarters (only one other gay man was employed by the pany at the time, and worked remotely a part-time posn). Which means there are only a few more chanc to spend time wh Osr Martez, one of the most tertg gay characters on (played masterfully by straight actor Osr Nunez) got a lot of buzz back 2006, when he me out the Season 3 episo "Gay Wch Hunt.

GAY WCH HUNT

)Thgs have changed sce then, of urse: Now there are gay characters appearg regularly on The New Normal, Morn Fay, Go On and Glee–not to mentn ble seri like Te Blood, Nurse Jackie, and Amerin Horror Story. I love this storyle not only bee 's meaty, but bee 's not specifilly about Osr beg gay.

That's somethg to cheer: On The Office, beg gay is un-special enough that we n fet about entirely sometim. Season 3, Episo 1 - 'Gay Wch Hunt'Perhaps one of the harst episos to watch is the Season 3 opener, which Michael lls Osr (Osr Nunez) "f**gy" for preferrg Shakpeare Love to Die jtify the e of the offensive term, Michael then go on a warpath, fendg his choice of words, before liverg a non-apology to Osr and outg him as then spreads around the office, wh Osr's skmate Kev (Brian Bmgartner) sniggerg about the revelatn and Angela (Angela Ksey) proceedg to make homophobic ments and potedly g hand sanizer after Osr returns to his sk. Michael then enlists Dwight (Ran Wilson) to help him figure out who else the office might be gay before the pair ll Jim (John Krasski) at his new office to enquire about buyg a "gaydar" (a prank Halpert pulled on Dwight prevly).
