Examples I can think of at work include my wedding (or civil partnership as it was back then). When other people got married there was a whip round and we all put in a fiver for a card and present. When it was my CP I got nothing, not even a card. Colleagues knew I was getting married and were invited to the evening do.
I don’t think it’s me that’s the problem as I got a nice card and pressie on my 30th birthday.
In my current job I asked for a day of compassionate leave for FIL’s funeral. We were close. Boss said no, I had to take annual leave as compassionate leave it only for family. Fair enough I thought until a colleague mentioned same boss had given her three days compassionate leave when her dog died!
My DW thinks people see gay marriages as close friendships and don’t give them the same respect as straight marriages.
AIBU to think she has a point? If you are straight how do you view gay relationships?

To think people don't take gay relationships as seriously as straight ones?
