I TEND TO BRG UP THE FACT THAT I’M GAY EARLY ON, BEE TO ME ’S NOT A BIG AL, AND ’S NOT A SECRET. BUT DO THE FACT THAT I FEEL A NEED TO BRG UP MEAN MAYBE IS AN ISSUE? POSSIBLY. GENERALLY, I FACE MORE DISCRIMATN FOR BEG LACTOSE-TOLERANT THAN I DO FOR BEG GAY. I’VE BEEN EXTRAORDARILY FORTUNATE THAT MY ORIENTATN HAS ALMOST NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE MY WORKPLACE, AND NOT MANY PEOPLE N MAKE THE SAME CLAIM. I’VE ONLY EXPERIENCED OUTRIGHT HOMOPHOBIA ON A UPLE OF SHOWS MY ENTIRE REER. THE MOST EGREG WAS YOUR GARN-VARIETY BARRAGE OF GAY JOK AND SLURS, OFFERED BY A DIRECTOR WHO’D BEEN PUT CHARGE OF NNG THIS ONE GENRE SHOW I WAS ON.

BUT THE NEGATIVE EXPERIENC HAVE BEEN, THANKFULLY, RARE. MOST OF THE TIME, I’M SURROUND BY PEOPLE WHO DON’T REALLY GIVE AN F WHOM I F – THEY ONLY RE ABOUT MY WRG AND PRODUCG ABILI.

I TEND TO BRG UP THE FACT THAT I’M GAY EARLY ON, BEE TO ME ’S NOT A BIG AL, AND ’S NOT A SECRET. BUT DO THE FACT THAT I FEEL A NEED TO BRG UP MEAN MAYBE IS AN ISSUE? POSSIBLY. GENERALLY, I FACE MORE DISCRIMATN FOR BEG LACTOSE-TOLERANT THAN I DO FOR BEG GAY. I’VE BEEN EXTRAORDARILY FORTUNATE THAT MY ORIENTATN HAS ALMOST NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE MY WORKPLACE, AND NOT MANY PEOPLE N MAKE THE SAME CLAIM. I’VE ONLY EXPERIENCED OUTRIGHT HOMOPHOBIA ON A UPLE OF SHOWS MY ENTIRE REER. THE MOST EGREG WAS YOUR GARN-VARIETY BARRAGE OF GAY JOK AND SLURS, OFFERED BY A DIRECTOR WHO’D BEEN PUT CHARGE OF NNG THIS ONE GENRE SHOW I WAS ON.

BUT THE NEGATIVE EXPERIENC HAVE BEEN, THANKFULLY, RARE. MOST OF THE TIME, I’M SURROUND BY PEOPLE WHO DON’T REALLY GIVE AN F WHOM I F – THEY ONLY RE ABOUT MY WRG AND PRODUCG ABILI.
