"Hey man, what did you do this weekend?" - "Not much, my husband and I went up to the cabin to spend some time hunting and fishing"

For normal adults, that's just someone sharing their pleasant weekend... but others are triggered by implied gay sex and gun possession.

If they are such a snowflake that they can’t handle a homosexual relationship then that’s their problem. In today’s society, outside of a few regressive companies, most employees know that they would just have to get over it.

On the other hand, if someone asked me what I did on the weekend, I wouldn’t mention that I took part in (hypothetically) “Black Lives Matter” (highly political) or even was walking down the street proselytizing and trying to convince people to make God the head of their lives (highly religious) or that I was in the woods running around with Confederate flags trying to relive the glory of the Civil War (trust me, won’t ever happen.)

Presumably someone at youtube writes, interprets, enforces and improves their policies on videos showing firearms.

If they tried to do all that without mentioning guns..... well, actually that would explain a lot :)

This actually made me laugh - I couldn't agree more. Since when is sexuality an open topic at work?

Sexuality has always been an open topic at work. People talk about their kids. Display pictures of their family. Bring their spouse to the Christmas party.

It's only recently that people can talk about their non-heterosexual relationships at work. In 1995, mentioning your lesbian partner would've been overtly political and, in certain workplaces, is STILL called "political" and can get you fired [1].

I'm guessing you've never worked in a restaurant...

I hope you wouldn’t compare the level of professionalism expected at a restaurant to what you should expect in an office setting.

of course not. I'm just making the point that a lot of folks might go their entire lives without working in such a stuffy environment as the modern office. and yet, life goes on.
