On the internal newsfeed in the client's coffee room, they're proudly promoting the new association for gay employees. It seems a bit queer to me... gay people at work has been a normal part of everyday life for years. The head of IT in my first job was gay.
(Managers go to pub, one of them, Rob, gets the drinks in: "So, who's having what".
...
"OK, so that's 5 beers, a gin and tonic and an orange juice. Orange juice. Who's having the pouff's drink?"
Head of IT: "That'll be mine, Rob".).

Americans are weird.
Hence the only in America!

Sorry I should have said that this post comes with a side of a sense of humour instead of the "Franch dressing" (sic) courtesy of breaking bad.
