"is he?" "we dont know but we think he is!!!" "why dont you just ask him"

"omg we cant just ASK PEOPLE IF THEY'RE GAY" "why not"

"what if he IS" "then he says yes?" "what if he's NOT" "then he says no?"

"ITS INAPPROPRIATE" "...what? its only inappropriate if you think being gay is inappropriate to begin with, what difference does it make"

"WE CANT JUST ASK PEOPLE IF THEY'RE GAY"

"so you're just gonna wonder behind his back forever?" "yes" "o...k gl with that'

people are so weird

and they think I'M weird for being like "??? just ask its not a big deal wtf"

"hey are you gay" "yes/no" "ok cool just wanted to know" ITS ONLY AS BIG A DEAL AS YOU MAKE IT you stupid drama queens

^ that was a 40 year old straight dude btw not like a 14 year old girl

(the funny part is he gets all "IS THAT GUY GAY" about random people and has not figured out i like dudes yet)

straight people.

by HR standards I think it's inappropriate to ask about people's sexual orientation in the workplace?

but if they think it's just not okay to ask people that ever then yeah they're being babies

its inappropriate for an employer to ask an employee

and that's only when considering hiring/firing

not random coworker to random coworker
