[quote=Anonymous]I have seen this in some pockets, and in older generations too (older meaning millennial and some Gen X). A sense of entitlement that is bizarre to me given the context. At one point I worked in a workplace that was probably 60% or more queer folks, and everyone was very open minded and tolerant, and I experienced and witness more physical and verbal harassment in that job than anywhere else. And yeah, some people think that having a marginalized identity is a weird get out of jail free card for their bad behavior.

Also therapy speak is so common in LGBTQ+ communities because sooooo many of us have had therapy or been exposed to it in various settings, and people will absolutely manipulate that to justify crappy behavior.

Now I work in a corporate environment that is perfectly friendly and welcoming to my identity (like I am out and no one has ever made me feel uncomfortable or judged) but it's a much more controlled, buttoned up environment and it's so much better. Like no one talks about butt plugs at work and no one has ever slapped my butt or gotten their grind on in the office kitchen. It's sad when corporate America is bigger on consent and professionalism than a gay-owned business. Get it together folks![/quote]
