I work in a field that is primarily made up of straight white married men. In my 13 years on the job at various companies in three states, I have only run into one other confirmed gay guy. No lesbians. Now, I did have a married man hit on me and I did hire someone who said he had broken up with his “girlfriend,” but I knew better. He flamed more than Baked Alaska (see left). I can affirm that my sexual orientation has never interfered with my work. Sure, it has made for some uncomfortable circumstances, but has never decreased the quality or output of my work.
Unless you are in porn or the world’s oldest profession, your sexual orientation is not going to stop you from attaining your goals. One thing we have to struggle with in many aspects of the straight world is that homophobic people will see us as damaging, deviant, or festering. I will now present a few tongue-in-cheek examples. In the classroom gay teachers are going to corrupt the youth of America by spreading their faggotry and butt sexed lies! Pro athletes worry about the gays looking at their dongs in the locker room. A bull dyke can swing around a jack hammer but a fey male can only wield the scissors in a salon.
These examples may seem a bit extreme, but they are some of the stereotypes about jobs that people have against gays and lesbians. Just because we may love someone of the same sex does not make us unable to perform certain tasks. In the politically correct world it is fine to say that a male hairdresser is gay but defiantly odd to say that another is straight! Straight men can make good beauticians just as well as gay men can work construction jobs. Our sexual orientation does not limit our ability to perform any job. Anyone who tells us otherwise is ignorant and certainly, not just homophobic, but afraid of the gays.
