Last year at the office party, the people in charge of preparing name tags for the party hadn’t made one for my wife although she was clearly listed as my spouse in the office directory and it was my third year on the job (all three years with my spouse). Straight friends who were had been dating for a year or less had name tags for their partners, and other homosexual partners were in the same boat as me and my partner–no name tag. Fast forward one year: when RSVPing to this year’s party, I make a special request for my wife to receive a name tag and point out the discrimination last year. The person in charge of name tags writes back: “How could you attack me like this? Please don’t turn this into a ‘straight-gay’ thing. It was just an oversight.”
