![]() ![]() How do you look back on participating in this initiative and what do you hope it brings/enables?Īs I said at the beginning I believe we need to make us heard around as many times as we can voice ourselves out. ![]() We still have some pink sheep around that says some homophobic stuff around but I guess I need to tolerate them as we need to work in the same environment. The company is inclusive and supports on all the LGTBIQ+ events. Honestly FL it's one of the best companies I've ever worked with in that regard. ![]() If Fourthline could do one thing better to be more inclusive for Queer people, what would that be? You can do the same things as any other person and never allow anyone to tell you anything different. If you don't actively disturb anyone by doing what makes you happy, could this be wrong in any scenario I wonder? You're as great, gorgeous, capable, sexy as any other individual. ![]() Do whatever you feel/like/want to do all time. This not only applies for the LGTBIQ+ collective but to everyone. May I take this as a compliment.? What do want to tell me with this? I try to make my colleagues understand that in the end, this kind of comments and observations a bit homophobic and we don't like them. I'm sick of some comments like: "Ah but you doesn't look gay". If you don't feel comfortable, let them know. A lot of people does bad or weird comments trying to make a joke out of it. Said that I will always encourage everyone to be their own self 100% all time because why shouldn't we? Nothing is wrong with us, we just do whatever we feel in the inside and if this is loving someone from your own gender, then this what you must do as the free individuals we are. I can warn anyone about A-B-C things but you need to feel it in your bones to understand what's going on. In the end, the "Journey" as the questions states needs to be experienced. Would you be comfortable sharing any learnings from your journey as a queer person that might inspire your co-workers? I never hide myself anymore but on the other hand I do not spread my sexual orientation straight away, no ones introduces themselves saying: "I'm X and I'm straight" so I don't need to do the same. Luckily the 3rd groups it's being less and less common thanks to companies and visibility. People who still find us weird and the interaction usually it's weird or they spread homophobic comments in common areas, etc. People who knows about, respects, but they still have questions (I'm annoyed to be answering them many times already) and sometimes comments our of the context. People who's aware, informed and have been respectful to me all time. I will speak about them in 3 different blocks: In my journey I've found all kind of people. I have a lot of experiences I can share here as I've been working in different companies, environments, etc. How would you describe your experience as a queer person in the workplace? why should I need to explain this to people over and over and over again? We just wish a world where no one stares at us as queer individuals but like anyone else. From the fact that this is something we haven't chosen, we can't (and we don't want) change and ultimately what I do in privacy in the end shouldn't bother anyone else. We needed, and we still do need, to fight hard just for the fact of other people recognizes us as just another regular human being, we need to ask for respect. I celebrate Pride because there are still people who think we are overacting all time. Why do you celebrate Pride and what makes it important for you to celebrate it? ![]()
