BEST MOVIE EVER...
"Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to being a hostess, it's part of my husband's work, and it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet together for the first time, to get acquainted, so I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I mean, I have absolutely no idea what we're doing here, or what I'm doing here, or what this place is about, but I am determined to enjoy myself. And I'm very intrigued, and, oh my, this soup's delicious, isn't it?"
Sad fact- I didn't cut and paste that quote. It's part of me.
How is "this concept" foreign to her? Does she not exist in the world and see shit like this all the time...? Oh right- she doesn't.
As a side note, this nut job (Arkansas guy, not "gp," ugh I hate her) is part of the problem, yes- but as a young gay man, a sneakier problem is that my boss knows that I'm gay but never asks me anything about my life. Everyone else in the office he can chat with everyone else in the office about kids, spouses and weekend plans. I get ignored.
He's "church-y" and super nice, and perhaps he doesn't want to invade my privacy. But the fact that he holds me to a different standard- don't ask, don't tell- just shows how far things haven't come. Even more telling is that most everyone else in the office follows his lead- everyone is always very polite and friendly towards me, but that’s it. I'm reinforcing the situation by keeping my private life "private."
Do I not want to rock the boat and talk about something like a boyfriend…? How odd is it that everyone in the office knows I’m gay, but never asks me a single question about my life…?
Real change will occur when gay people cease to monitor internal thoughts and feelings because they don't want to rock the boat. Maybe I should take that step and be so bold.
Anyway, that’s my rant.
