I think honestly part (not the whole reason obviously) why I’m sensitive to the plight of LGBT people and other minorities is I guess in a way being on the autistic spectrum, I’m a bit of a minority myself. Yeah, I’m a straight white guy but damn it, I do understand what it’s like to be treated like an outsider and marginalized for no good reason. It’s a good thing this manager did not to mention hilarious to throw off the crazy bigot woman.

My reason for being sensitive is having to have faced prejudice from the ripe old age of six years old, for my nationality (Finnish), for my religion (Catholicism), for my family’s poverty and other things I won’t divulge here.
Long story short, I got most of my childhood destroyed by it and am still healing the deep wounds it caused. I know it’s complete and utter male bovine fecal matter, how little it takes for it to start, and how much it hurts.
So no, I won’t turn anyones sexuality into a slur in any way. And certain things don’t exist even as concepts for me.
