This is just a rant and not intended to offend anybody guys.

At work tonight a woman (she doesn't work for us but an agency so comes sometimes) started making some very offensive remarks about gays and lesbians.

She said she wouldn't eat at a restaurant if she thought any of the chefs were gay, she takes her own cup cutlery and plate everywhere because she doesn't know what sexuality people are at different jobs, and most offensive to me, she started going on about how in her country they shoot gays and lesbians, and there families and pets.

I got really annoyed and said I have lots of family and friends that are bi and gay and she talked over me repeating about them being shot and comparing them to rapists and paedos.

I think I did well to keep my dignity and walk away instead of knocking her bigoted teeth down her throat don't you?

Rant over xx

If she tries talking like that round brighton the skinheads will be round her house sprucing the place up a bit. You can't fix hate with hate, you did well not to chin her.

Perhaps you could get her agency to send her on a long and boring course about tolerance.

I recommend not even speaking with this woman again. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but sometime hate speech is hate speech, and saying that gays and lesbians should be shot is hate speech.

"Gay and lesbian" is just a tag that people use to label people

At the end of the day we are all just sexual beings whatever the preference

A guys ass can please a cock the same as a woman's ass, same rule for mouth hand and all the rest

Unfortunately history teaches us that those who "made the rules" didn't like sex with the same sex and so the story goes.....

Each to their own I say

Really annoys me when people come to this country and start complaining about it.

Used to work with a Nigerian who constantly went on about how great his country is and how awful this one is.

Eventually asked I asked him if his country was so great why did he come over here to pay for a university education? And if this country is so bad why doesn't he fuck off back to his own as he'd finished his uni course ages ago.

He shut up after that and soon disappeared. Apparently his visa had expired.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to report her to my Manager when he comes in tomorrow. I honestly believe everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it made me feel sick hearing this.

My team Manager was there and joked that she is bi, the bitch stood up, moved around the table with her back to her and refused to even look in her direction until she convinced her she's straight.

This!

I do not believe that you could change that person's (or simialr poeple's) mind or even open their eyes to the offensive comments they have made hence any conversation with them about the subject matter is a waste of breath.

I would report this to HR as it constitues hate speech as mentioned by another poster!

You should have told her to take her bigoted opinions back to the country she had brought them from because they are not welcome here.

There's no point in arguing with people like that. Their point of _iew has no logic, so trying to talk her around would have got you nowhere. Maybe if she does it again, kiss her and tell her you've never been so turned on before.

If what she has said has caused you offence then you would be well within your rights to report it and management should request her agency don't send her to you again. If this happened at my place I would refuse her attendance and request an alternative via a strongly worded email to her company pointing out the ramifications of her actions. Fuck intolerance and prejudice there's no need for that.

If Ginger had made a comment about this persons colour, race or country then the woman would have found it offensive. Why should it be any different because of someones sexuality especially when comments were made about a co-worker from the same agency. The comments made were akin to hate and as such constitute a crime. Lucky this woman wasn't directing the comments that gays should be shot to anyone otherwise she could be arrested and charged.

We actually work in a role where we support vulnerable people. I would hope she's professional enough that if supporting somebody who is openly gay that she can put her opinions to one side. The venom she showed last night really makes me doubt it though. x

Funnily enough the conversation started by me asking why she brings her own cup etc, as she knows us now and knows we are clean, don't wee in cups like she claimed some people she has looked after sometimes do. Her rant started about how people a're dirty and took a weird twist when she said 'and I don't know anybody's sexuality either' which is why my boss asked if she would drink from a cup if a lesbian had. And then she started.

I made sure my Manager knows if he doesn't do anything about it I'll be taking it higher. He didn't look happy cos it means paperwork but fuck it lol x

I agree. She is here and working, for now, so should assume that those responsible have made the appropriate checks. She has been made welcome and should extend that acceptance to all members of our country.

Bigotry is distasteful and has no place in our world. Too many lives have been lost or damaged because of it.

I wasn't meaning anything racist in my post. It was her words when she says 'back home' meaning jamaica. I don't endorse hate of any kind wether it's gender race sexuality or any other forms of discrimination x

well growing up in an era when that was the most used phrase by racist groups I would say so!

And the amount of times I was told to go back home in my childhood (I was born here) I can tell you it is racist!!

maybe im naive, but im really suprised by it!...don't really see the relevance of where she's from at all! she's wrong, ignorant, and breaking the law...end of!

I wasn't meaning anything racist in my post. It was her words when she says 'back home' meaning jamaica. I don't endorse hate of any kind wether it's gender race sexuality or any other forms of discrimination x"

Jamaica??? Wtf they don't kill whole families and pets for being gay lol I thought you was referring to one of those countries were being gay is illegal and you could be sentence to death this puts a whole different spin on the argument

(Strong Jamaica background so I'm not just talking blindly)

Well the person the op is talking about is very racist and obviously not from this country and was aimed at her . Why anyone should be racist is beyond me as there is good and bad in all . If it hurt you wasn't meant for you

Ask her what she does when she takes her own plate to the restaurant, does she wait for her meal to be brought out then transfer the food from the plate it's served on onto her own plate or give them her plate to take to the kitchen for the food to be served on her own plate?

Tell her weird shit like that will guaranty her food is spunked in. Think of it though you're working in a restaurant and somebody makes a fuss and asks to use their own plate, when that plate comes into the kitchen they'd lick it and fart on it and then put the food on.

Would you?

Tbh I'd just assume they had some mental health issues and accommodate them.

Not like it's taking any extra effort on my part.

Unless they go into why they want thier own plate because they arnt sure the waiter is gay that would get it wiped down thw crack

So say two parents come Un with their autistic child who will only eat of his special Thomas the tank plate if you were the waiter and they asked you to bring his food out on that for him you'd spunk in the child's food for not being normal would you?

That's entirely different circumstances. My comment was aimed at the OP. If someone told me they wouldn't eat at a restaurant incase of gays and took their own cup, cutlery and plate just incase any gays were working there the first thing I would have said would be what I said in my original comment. Give her some food for thought and realise her taking her own plate to avoid a gay touching anything she's going to eat from is stupid because whatever happens even her own plate will get touched, even the fucking food would have been prepared by a possible gay so I would have mentioned that too.

Not talking about every single scenario that would require someone taking their own plate to a restaurant. Just talking about the nonsense spouted by the woman the op was referring to. Jesus why do people have to blow everything out of proportion!

"This is just a rant and not intended to offend anybody guys.

At work tonight a woman (she doesn't work for us but an agency so comes sometimes) started making some very offensive remarks about gays and lesbians.

She said she wouldn't eat at a restaurant if she thought any of the chefs were gay, she takes her own cup cutlery and plate everywhere because she doesn't know what sexuality people are at different jobs, and most offensive to me, she started going on about how in her country they shoot gays and lesbians, and there families and pets.

I got really annoyed and said I have lots of family and friends that are bi and gay and she talked over me repeating about them being shot and comparing them to rapists and paedos.

I think I did well to keep my dignity and walk away instead of knocking her bigoted teeth down her throat don't you?

Rant over xx"

Personally i would report her to your boss, that kind of attitude shows why this country is still a dangerous place for people to go out and socialise and be safe, i dread to think what her thoughts or beliefs are on Transgender people

Without getting into homophobic or race/nationality issues, the thing to do is report to whoever in your workplace is overseeing her at the time she works there. They should then inform her agency. They could insist she is never sent back.

my team leader/line Manager was there when it was all said and tried to diffuse the situation by humour. This morning I spoke to her and said I was making a report about it she said I should if I found her comments offensive. She admits that because of her culture she doesn't agree with homosexuality but she doesn't force her opinion on others. I think that's why she didn't realise how bad the comments really were until she realised how angry I was and it clicked.

The lady in question is due back on wednesday and supposed to be working with me and an agency lady who is gay and proud and wouldn't hesitate to knock seven bells out of her if she starts so I might have to be referee lol

Jamaica, and the Caribbean islands in general, are very intolerant towards homosexual activity. Include Africa as well. In fact, black people in general are intolerant towards gay men.

I've never met a homophobic black person myself (that I know of anyway) - but the evangelical movement in African countries is enormous.

White evangelicals from the US have been actively working with the Ugandan authorities to implement their anti-gay laws. I'm sure there are other examples.

I think Jamaica is a mix of evangelism and machismo.

"I'm black, born here, parents from West Indies. If the woman the OP is talking about had made the comments to me I'd have told her things are different here than Jamaica, we try to be tolerant, not ignorant. And if she didn't like it here to fuck off back to where she came from.

Guess that makes me a racist too."

And to be fair, to suggest a single person "goes back home" is hardly racist. Calling for an entire group of immigrants to go back home, because of a presumed set of unacceptable values placed on said immigrants, is. This is one woman, not an entire race or nationality.

"This is just a rant and not intended to offend anybody guys.

At work tonight a woman (she doesn't work for us but an agency so comes sometimes) started making some very offensive remarks about gays and lesbians.

She said she wouldn't eat at a restaurant if she thought any of the chefs were gay, she takes her own cup cutlery and plate everywhere because she doesn't know what sexuality people are at different jobs, and most offensive to me, she started going on about how in her country they shoot gays and lesbians, and there families and pets.

I got really annoyed and said I have lots of family and friends that are bi and gay and she talked over me repeating about them being shot and comparing them to rapists and paedos.

I think I did well to keep my dignity and walk away instead of knocking her bigoted teeth down her throat don't you?

Rant over xx"

Bet she was Jamaican. How I managed to keep a straight face when my hairdresser and her clientele were talking about the proposed changes in the homosexual laws in Jamaica. If they knew I was a "sodomite" I'd be barred and they'd incinerate the coffee cup I used!

"Yes she is ignorant and small minded but what worries me more is the amount of blatantly racist replies I have seen in here "go back home" etc...

those living in glass houses and all that

maybe im naive, but im really suprised by it!...don't really see the relevance of where she's from at all! she's wrong, ignorant, and breaking the law...end of!

I wasn't meaning anything racist in my post. It was her words when she says 'back home' meaning jamaica. I don't endorse hate of any kind wether it's gender race sexuality or any other forms of discrimination x"

Jamaica??? Wtf they don't kill whole families and pets for being gay lol I thought you was referring to one of those countries were being gay is illegal and you could be sentence to death this puts a whole different spin on the argument

(Strong Jamaica background so I'm not just talking blindly)"

Yet I assumed straight away she was Jamaican even though I knew the pet killing was a lie but I've heard the comments. My cousin went on a Channel Four programme about gays and lesbians by way of telling the family. This was early 90s. When my uncle died in 2011 she was not invited to the funeral, the family still hadn't got over the "shame".

Another cousin is gay, Stevie Wonder would spot it, his parents keep wondering when he's going to get a girlfriend!

Did you see the 'Gay and under attack' documentary with Reggie Yates on BBC3 at 9pm? About attacks on gay people in Russia. Horrible. "

Just watched that last night ( with my kids). They were horrified at peoples attitudes. That was encouraging. The creepiest ones were the evangelical arm of the orthodox church. When he asked them what they would do to a gay person, they said they would stone them, "just like in the bible". He should have asked them what Jesus would have done. Worth it just to see their brains implode.

I find it sad really to find someone with such a closed mind, in a way you can't directly blame the person if this is the way she has been brought up. Blame the parents and family for the way she has turned out.

reporting her is the right thing to do, shame though this isn't someone in their teens as you might be a let to educate them.

I said it during her rant and thought she would stop then but she continued. And the thing that started her rant was when I asked why she still brings her own cup etc. She started talking about hygiene then inexplicably said how she doesn't know what sexuality everybody is. X

Unfortunately there are still some people who are stuck in the dark ages. Like you I have some family that are gay and some good mates too that are also gay. You have done well to restrain yourself and not lower yourself to their level so high five for being the bigger person and sticking up for what your beliefs are.

Someone in your company needs a wake-up call!

Contact Citizens Advice, Stonewall and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance and tell them what has happened and ask for their advice.

Stonewall are probably your best bet.

I somehow doubt that your HR department realize they have broken the law by refusing to act when someone working for them has preached hate against gays and threatening the person who reported the hate speech.

You should also ask the GMP Gay and Lesbian team for advice, the team holds an advice surgery at the Lesbian and Gay Foundation, 5 Richmond Street, Manchester, every first and third Thursday each month.

Please don't let your company sweep this under the carpet and let this person continue spreading their vile beliefs.

Tomorrow is the 3rd Thursday in the month...

Go see the police in the gay village show them the facebook update...

The crime is your supervisors and the woman who made the gay hate statements , make them to have to take ownership of their homophobia and force your company to deal with both of them.

Take snapshots of the Facebook statuses in case you need them later on in case they delete them - that in itself is unprofessional behaviour and will go in your favour should you need to prove it xxx

Defo agree with that. That is WAY unprofessional to put statuses on Facebook. Can't believe the line manager is doing that. also defo agree to take snapshots etc. The more proof you get the better.

Surly this situation can be dealt with internally.

The company I work for would find something like this on Facebook as a disiplinary action.
