So two gays could just come in and say they are friends and get two free beers?

But straight women couldn't get it for free

I guess it's more: "we only want men"

That sounds a bit gay NGL.

"NGL" in Idaho = "Not Gay LOL"?

I used to work in the trades. I was surrounded by straight-acting men. There's nothing more gay than a group of straight-acting men.

Unfortunately it's the creepy, repressed kind of gay that would make a tolerate person's skin crawl.

I feel awful for their wives and children.

I stumbled over a community at lemmynsfw.com called "rough trade" or something similar. Those tradesmen were so straight they weren't afraid to let their buddy rest his cock in their mouth.

Did you tell all the men you were working with this is how you felt about them, or was it more of an undercover hate thing?

After finally getting fed up, I went on a 10 month campaign against mamagement calling out all the sexism, racism, poor management and absolute disrespectful treatment of apprentices and contractors. I made it very clear that the work culture was awful in every way.

I got predictably fired but I secretly was working with corporate to deal with the the awful HR manager who was enabling this work culture.

Without going into much details, After my company fired me, I put in a complaint to the government labour board over a wrongful termination case. A month later after my submitting my case to the labour board, the HR manager was forced into early retirement. A month after that I settled out of court and got my severance plus a little extra to cover lawyer fees.

My coworkers knew, most got upset at me for challenging authority, some respectfully supported me at an arms length and even fewer people actually supported me.

What was undercover hate wasn't very hidden by the end of my time there. Although I doubt they fully knew how much I couldn't stand them. I still had to maintain the peace somehow.
