Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[Losty]

The irony is that I never mentioned being gay in my argument, yet you all bring it up.

Why is that?

Umm...because we already know you're gay. Duh. Straight people have more privileges than gay people.

Even though most companies regulate against sexual discrimination and especially since gay marriage has become legal here in the unfortunate states of the U.S.?

They also regulate against racial discrimination. Do you think that stops racist assholes from discriminating against black people? 

Of course not. And I'll tell you from experience that it doesn't matter what your corporation's policy on LGBT is. Good ol' boys are gonna fuck you over, regardless.

Yes. There are still even states where it is legal to fire someone for being gay.

I know that new laws never prevent bigotry.

It takes time, after all.

Please ensure I never move to any of those deluded states.

Sadly true. All managers really have to do is avoid using bigoted slurs. As long as they're not on record calling you something starting with "n" or "f," they can do whatever they want.

Even as a gay guy you still have more privilege over me as a bi woman.

Not really.

Though, I must ask, toward which direction are you swinging right now in relation to sexuality?

[Losty]

Yes. There are still even states where it is legal to fire someone for being gay.
