    “I am LGBT and Mentally Ill,” one post by an employee on an internal Meta platform called Workplace reads. “Just to let you know that I’ll be taking time out to look after my mental health.”

    Ah, the old calling in to work because you’re too gay

    So the queerphobia is gross in its own right, but the more quiet part is that ableism and abusing and discriminating against mentally ill people is a-ok too (and while sexual orientation and gender identity clearly aren’t mental illnesses, there is also nothing wrong with being mentally ill, but unfortunately the readiness of some to distance themselves from and throw mentally ill people under the bus to save themselves will very quickly become apparent, and everyone needs to consciously be avoiding that trap).
