IdiotMachine 08/12/21 9:16:24 AM #1:	"Using the word 'homosexual' is offensive. Instead of using the word 'homosexual', use the words 'gay' or 'lesbian'. Do not use the word 'homosexual' to identify same-sex couples. Instead, consider saying simply 'couples', or do not bring to attention the person's sexuality." Some other interesting notes: "Using the word 'gay' or 'lesbian' as a noun is offensive. Instead of saying 'he's a gay', consider saying 'he's a gay person.'." "Do not use the term 'sexual preference', as this implies that sexuality is a choice and can be 'cured'. Instead, consider using the terms 'sexual orientation' or simply 'orientation' if you must." And at the end, there's a list of defamatory language not to be used. lolwtf... who the hell would ever say something like this at work? People's sexuality at work is literally the last thing in my mind. I don't give a shit if you're straight, gay, lesbian, trans, etc. as long as you do your freakin' job. --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:957012952] in HR: "...

There was this portion in the training as well. The entire training was about 2 hours long: The first part was all about disabilities, and not to say "idiot", etc., ask about someone's disability, claim disability to cover, etc. The second part was all about LGBTQ rights. It gave examples "from the other side", like how saying "my religion finds this offensive, why is the company celebrating Pride Month?" is not protected under religious freedoms, as you are voicing that LGBTQ = offensive. The third part was about ethnicity, and explicitly had a very racist example of Mexicans and the border, which I won't even repeat here. --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:957013138] in HR: "...
