lesbophobia

Angel

I was walking home from work with a coworker and mentioned that I was gay instead of lesbian, the usual phrase I use. He told me to never call myself gay because it’s an ugly and disgusting word and then detailed what he’d like to see me do with another woman. When I asked to change the topic or I will leave he didn’t stop and shouted abuse at me as I walked away. I told my boss what had happened and they asked if he was drunk at the time and encouraged me to not make a formal complaint and they’d deal with it internally. It was never dealt with and soon after he was promoted above me.
