People are so fake. If you act like sexual orientation isn't discriminated against in the Western world and that only the Eastern world does, that's misleading. Personally, I don't care about someone's sexual orientation, but I've seen two coworkers avoid coming out to their own parents and bosses because they know they would face discrimination. Interestingly, one of them was later outed to his parents by my boss when he was fired. His mother was in tears and told me that he had told her her son was gay. I told my coworker to take it as a life lesson: never share something so personal with your boss. Eastern or Western, the world is not kind to you when you don't fit in.
