He forgot this is a man's world. Not a gay world. Plus who cares. You need to remember you replaced someone. That someone before you never came out and said he or she was outed by a gay person. Go out with some grace man. Why bring the gay topic to why you lost your job.

[@svetakokareva9455]

Who cares?

[@mikedc]

Be should have listened to his mom about keeping a secret. Should have stayed in the closet.
