However, in the latter instance, I honestly don't think you have a case against them. You were the one who brought up your preferences, in the context of a conversation, and I can really only imagine that your tone was aggressive and/or hostile. Even if it wasn't, I would expect anyone to get reprimanded for bringing their bedroom habits/identities/religion (i.e, "Why don't you feed your kids pork, afraid they might turn Jewish like me?") ...into a work-related conversation where customers might hear and complain. I've been told that talking in Spanish was inappropriate, as well as how much I drank over the weekend -- if you brought it up, management has the right to limit non-work related conversation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526275581987963914.post-37192690288765852872009-01-12T17:50:00.000-05:002009-01-12T17:50:00.000-05:00This was a great blog i was reading your blog abou...This was a great blog i was reading your blog about trader joe's too and i agree btw the trader joes policy is to donate i work at one in connecticut and am currently seeking a lawsuit against them. i was asked by a supervisor who knows that i am a homosexual man if i was the "top" or "bottom" which is sooooo innapropriate. it was degrading, and embarassing and i was not only offended but so were two other co-workers of mine. and the next offense happened because one of my co-workers told me that soy is bad for guys because it has estrogen and thats why they say not to give it to younger boys and i said "why because theyll be gay like me?" and we both laughed so hard and this one guy who i know is a devoted christian took offense yelled at me and then went to the manager of our store who is also an open devoted "christian" and she told me that i should watch what i say because some people might find that offensive. i dont understand why that would be offensive i am a gay man and if they dont like it tough. i shouldnt have to pretend to be macho and i didnt say anything sexual. im seeking a lawsuit against them and was wondering your opinion i love reading your blogs and i think you could give me some great insight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526275581987963914.post-3715559439475744012008-11-10T10:24:00.000-05:002008-11-10T10:24:00.000-05:00Interesting to know.Interesting to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526275581987963914.post-15176453799517946102008-02-27T00:31:00.000-05:002008-02-27T00:31:00.000-05:00I'm hoping I can get some time to do some more wri...I'm hoping I can get some time to do some more writing.

Masculinity and race are also entangled in the last picture. I would have to write a whole post in order to go into hypermasculinity and blackness. Ditto for the sudo-rape scene. It seems to me that 'gay' is one of those words, like 'black', that describes the bad in society while at the same time is used to label an entire section of people. Confusing, but telling. It shows the underpinnings of systemic 'isms.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876511620026324245noreply@blogger.com
