My Hypocrisy Ate Your Democracy
BIGOTRY, CALL CENTER, MONEY, USA | RIGHT | OCTOBER 23, 2008
(This is before same-sex marriage had been legalized.)
Me: “Thank you for calling the Benefits Center. How may I assist you today?”
Customer: “Hi. I am trying to enroll in my benefits for next year.”
Me: “Okay, how may I assist you?”
Customer: “I just got engaged and I want to add my fiancé to my insurance.”
Me: “I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to add your fiancé to your coverage until you get married.”
Customer: “So… those f****** f****ts can get benefits, but I can’t?”
Me: “Yes, sir, but you have the option to get married; they don’t.”
Customer: “Those f****** f****ts, f****** us over anyway they can!”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but you have the option to get married; they do not. That is the only reason we offer health benefits to same-sex domestic partners.”
Customer: “What if I can’t get married? What are you going to do about that?”
Me: “Why can’t you get married?”
Customer: “Well, a**hole if you must ask… it’s because I am already married.”
Me: “Sir, I can assure you we don’t pay for infidelity.”
