Wedding Woes

"Why would you say that?" or "Well, that's offensive."

Dear Prudence,

I work in retail and have a good relationship with my direct supervisor. However, I’ve noticed her making homophobic comments from time to time. For example, the other day she told me not to put a set of Sailor Moon books in the children’s section because “There’s lesbians in it, right? We don’t want kids reading that.” Another time, she was looking at something on her phone and said, “Oh, that’s so gay,” in a dismissive tone. Is it worth pushing back on comments like these? I’m out at work, and this doesn’t seem to have changed her behavior toward me, but the comments still sting.

    I would make her explain every comment, like I just can't understand her. 

    "We don't want kids reading that."
    "Why not?"
    "Lesbians."
    "Why shouldn't kids read about lesbians?"
    "Well, you know."
    "No, I don't. Please explain it to me." 

    It's delicious watching people get uncomfortable as they realize they've told you what shitstains they are. 
    I love this.
