How, exactly, are homosexuality values (what is a homosexual value?) being forced on you?

Via the whole politically correct concept.

For example, let’s say you have two men; one is a homosexual, the other is a polygamist with 3 wives. Both of these men’s live styles would be a small minority position in my work environment. And yet one of these men enjoy a politically correct umbrella.

For fear of losing my job and other possible legal ramifications, I must never speak of a wife (or wives), but must always refer to them as a “significant other”, for the benefit of one minority. The feelings of the other minority or even the majority are tossed out.

Hello Dr. Shades,

I do apologize for unfairly deeming the thread as "locked". I did not know it was unlocked.

Mr. Rock Slider,

Please explain how homosexuals are "pushing" their values onto you.

Thank you in advanced (and please, I do not need to know about your polygamous lifestyle).

Very Respectfully,

You do raise a good point, although I'm not sure it falls under the "values" umbrella.

Soo.. you need to invent facts and circumstances to show how Gays are pushing their values on you ?

I agree, the word "values" is showing my inbred homophobic upbringing. “lifestyle” is the word I should have used.
Thanks for pointing that out … I really am trying to “evolve” from my upbringing.

Hello, are you self employed? How do you view my complaint as invented?

p.s. if you are referring to the two men example ... I work at a very small company ... all employees are married with children. There are no homosexuals present to offend with the word wife, and yet we still must use the word significant other. Doesn’t that make it all the more ludicrous?

I call B***s*** ..
You do not work for a company that prohibits you from referring to your wife as your wife. That is utter B***s***!

I work for a small company that has no gays or polygamists (that we know of) and we use significant other as well. Why? Because there are a lot of single employees with boyfriends/girlfriends, not wives/husbands.

It has nothing to do with being PC.
