You guys...my co-worker is gay

[Bernadine]

He's engaged, and was talking about his wedding at our office lunch, and my boss asked him which of them was the "bride."  OMG.      :?

He just told her they were both wearing suits.

[alzi]

Dudeeeee. What a dick

WTF to your boss.

Actionable.

[wambam]

[daisybuchannan]

That is outrageous, and discriminatory.

[margarita]

Huge WTF to your boss. What a jerk!

[lilafowler]

HR!

[gault]

Document, document, document. Just in case. Holy crap.

[underwaterrhymes]

It really is sad that insecure and ignorant people have to hide behind insecure and ignorant jokes.

[justcallmekhaleesi]

Wtf?!

[gmail]

omg

[meganew]

Something should be done about this, right? I mean it was a work function. Jesus.

[Saint Monica]

Was your boss drinking?

Did the food commenters comment on food?

What a beautiful wedding.

[iammalcolmx]

Oh hell naw.

[melissa]

How awkward was the lunch in general? I am just not a fan of office lunches.

[bania]

WTF to your boss. That's gross.

[emsumm]

People ask my sister that all the time. My FIL included.

[sergey]

Jesus lady. It's 2014 ffs.

[cville]

Wait, what? She KNEW that your coworker is gay and said that? What a fuckface. She is going to get herself fired or the company sued.

[cinnamoncox]

Jeez, that's freaking awful. Poor guy. Sounds like he handled it well, I hope that doesn't mean he's used to hearing shit like that so he is ready with answers.
If it were me, I always think of come backs after.
Your boss sucks for thinking that's even close to appropriate.

[rex]

I hope your co-worker marched to HR after that.

[Bernadine]

Oh, and we work in HR. Specifically, in an office that handles civil rights issues.

Yeah but you're government, right? Call me jaded but public agencies are full of this kind of bullshit. 

I really hope your coworker calls the boss on it. Poor guy. Nobody should have to encounter that at work.

UGh. I once worked with an older attorney who made a racist remark about our own client (out of his ear shot) during his deposition break for a employment racial discrimination case. (he was the plaintiff)

Yes, government.

She's constantly making comments that are right on the edge of offensive (although, of course, this one was flat-out offensive).  I'm not sure if it's my place to raise this specific issue any further.
