Unless you count the day when and boss from years ago walked through my office and said he was horny. I told him to go stand outside in the rain. If that happened now...someone would be in big trouble.
Where I work many people have pictures of their spouses on their desks, wear wedding rings, talk about their partners to colleagues, share photos of their spouses on social media, and some of the younger ones even talk about their dates and dating. Jokes and comments about married life, gay life, dating life, and sex jokes aren't uncommon.
On another tangent, but still talking about unequal treatment for OS, in the UK there are multiple organisations that deal with all manner of lgbtq+ issues and offer counselling, therapy, support etc. When I contacted my GP about getting support when I first had to deal with the idea that I was an objectum (and other things) I was referred to an organisation that offers sexuality counselling for lgbtq+ people. They said they couldn't talk to me about OS because none of them had any expertise in that area. After some investigation they informed me there wasn't a single organisation in the UK that could help me. In a nation where most are dependant on NHS care that is a problem.
