Twice now I've been harassed out of jobs for my honesty, long ago before it was largely accepted that we aren't the terrible monsters the churches describe . Albeit both bosses who played that shit got hilarious karma for it though, I'll share the story of one particular backlash of a new bosses' homophobic act: picture it: 1996, small town California:
Shortly after I was laid off after months of harassment, I was to receive a superior "above the call of duty" award from the physician's group for my job performance.
Awards ceremony without my presence: the boss who rid of that gay guy recieved the award for me...
In front of a "boo-ing" audience.
My friend and colleague shared that with me as I was packing up my house to move. Warmed my broken heart.
