    I can think of a couple of different motivations for this.

    He’s trying to get ahead of a leak that he’s gay.

    He’s trying to help reduce pressure from employers, in a very odd way.

    I’m going with the first one, because people in power don’t give a fuck about anyone else.

    excessive job stress, social pressure, past sexual experiences, and weak religious practice

    Yeah, having past sexual experiences with a same-sex partner will do that.

    He’s right though, there i am, working my ass off, deadlines that fall behind and people running left and rightto catch the post-truck with that last minute delivery for the day, and all of a sudden, there we both stand, exhausted, over worked, and just start to furiously make out.

    It’s a real problem. And i for one am glad someone is taking this with the seriousness it deserves.

    Maybe during pregnancy? That would explain why ex socialist country people thrown into neo liberalism don‘t know what hit their kids.

      This is way too real.

      I Felt a Little Homosexual Today, So I Called in Sick: The Formation of “Reverse Discourse” by Swedish Gay Activists in the 1970s“

      This article revolves around the legal and epistemic battles around “homosexuality” in Sweden in 1979, which led to the abolition of homosexuality being classified as a “disease”. Among other things, gay activists “called in sick” to the Social Insurance Agency (SIA) and claimed that they were unable to work because they were homosexuals (read as mentally disordered).

      Nah, they’ll just replace everyone with AI & robots. People will be stressed, but it won’t be from work - problem solved!

        Can’t they just hire gay people in the first place? Can’t turn gay if you’re already gay.

        Or maybe working hard could make you super gay… or straight? I don’t know how this works.

          I think it’s a bit like the horseshoe theory in politics where the far left and far right agree on some of the same things.

          So once you’re super gay, you get to fuck super straight guys. That would explain why all these anti-gay politicians keep getting caught banging dudes in airport bathrooms.

        But isn’t losing a job a work stress? And since they don’t want gays, nobody will be fired.

        Additionally, if they don’t want you to be gay, they should employ you, otherwise you would work elsewhere, maybe for some libtard, who would stress you and turn you gay on purpose.
