    I hate the current administration as much as the next guy, but I would absolutely expect my workplace to fire me if I was using a work chat to talk about weekend gangbangs.

      Are they also purging everyone in the agency that ever texted about hooking up with someone over the weekend? Please. People talk about their sex lives all the time, even at work. They just make sure to discuss it an appropriate context. And this discussion group was just that kind of appropriate context.

      Again, are they firing everyone who ever texted about a weekend hookup? If not, then it’s simple bigotry. Even using lurid words like “gangbang” is honestly almost a slur in this context. Do I participate in that kind of romance? Personally, no. I’m monogamous myself. But I also recognize overt, rank, and despicable bigotry when I see it.

      This is how bigotry puts on a polite face. You declare certain sexual practices as obscene while consider others polite and acceptable. On cis het guy brags to another about the time they hooked up with two chicks in one weekend? That’s just a player. A queer person has multiple partners and chooses a poor word to describe it? Suddenly it’s worth firing every trans person in the agency.

      You clearly don’t hate this administration enough, as you are completely willing to accept their framing that certain sexualities are inherently deviant and shameful.
