I went to a workshop that was intended to be a meeting of the LGBT club with the guest speaker Alfonso Quiroz. Luckily, it was good enough for a workshop and kids started filing in. The guest speaker was a gay Mexican man who wanted to speak to us about being gay in the workplace. He talked of the many interesting jobs he had in his lifetime and how they affected him. His main goal was to try and help everyone understand that you should be able to be who you are in your workplace otherwise you won’t really enjoy your job. He talked about how being gay didn’t really affect him when he ran for a seat in the City council, however his race did. He was discriminated against because he is half Mexican even being called a Lino, a Latino in name only. I found him to very interesting, articulate and funny. He seemed laid back and comfortable in his own skin. The brief descriptions of his life and his many jobs were all very interesting and entertaining. His speech was supposed to last longer than it did but I wasn’t complaining. I have to say that this was one of the workshops I actually genuinely enjoyed.
