    No, the political part is you forcing your sexuality to be discussed in a non-sexual context. I don’t care what you do in your bedroom but I don’t want to be forced to talk to you about it. It’s not relevant to our work therefore we don’t need to discuss it at work. Unless you’re trying to fuck me I don’t need to hear about it at all and that’s probably not something you should be doing at work either, certainly not in this context.

    Nothing I have said is exclusive to queer people. They are universal rules that everyone should follow.

      Nothing they said was sexual. Even if they were saying they are attracted to men (as a man), that is not sexual.

      By your logic, no one at work can say they are married (married people are attracted to each other and have sex, how disgusting to force us to talk about your wife at work.)

      And don’t you DARE say you went on a date recently (dates are romantic, and that is sexual. Stop forcing your straightness on us!)

      Also, the trans flag was included, so they weren’t even talking about sexuality, just gender.

      Mentioning one’s orientation is not “forcing to discuss your sexuality”. It was an introduction thread, not a technical one, so it’s not even out of place. Also, a community forum is not “work”
