Employee Shuts Down Homophobic Woman After She Complains About Company's Pride Post

Employee Shuts Down Homophobic Woman After She Complains About Company's Pride Post
@actuallynothx/TikTok

When it came to dealing with a homophobic customer over the phone, Hannah – a.k.a. @actuallynothx on TikTok – showed she had no interest in doing business with them.

The angry customer called to complain about the company Hannah works for – which had apparently celebrated Pride month with a social media post, as many companies do to demonstrate their solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and to help spread visibility for marginalized people in society.


But all that was lost on the customer who continued her homophobic rant while on the phone.

Hannah recorded their interaction and her handling of the fuming customer in a TikTok video.


@actuallynothx

This lady was mad that the company I work for posted about #pridemonth🏳️‍🌈 on social media #customerservice #karen #foryou


The clip – which received over 700K views and over 139K likes since its posting on Thursday – started with Hannah telling the angry woman on the other end:

"Ma'am, it seems like you don't want to have a discussion, it seems like you just want to yell at somebody."
"So if you're gonna keep yelling, and you don't wanna have a back-and-forth discussion, I'm just gonna hang up."

The woman ignored Hannah and used a drinking analogy to imply the LGBTQ agenda was being forced on children.

"I know but when somebody dares your child, because they saw it in a movie, and your child is drunk, or somebody puts something in your child's drink, they are..."

"Well Ma'am," interjected Hannah, adding, "people putting stuff in your child's drink has nothing to do with Pride month."

The customer argued by countering "Hollywood is glorifying 'this culture' and it's [expletive] wrong to glorify this culture, and that's what you're doing and I am so offended."

Hannah argued while maintaining decorum:

"People all around the world, and all around the country, and businesses, have been glorifying straight culture for hundreds and hundreds of years."

The customer who continued to ignore Hannah called her "a disgusting human being," to which Hannah replied:

"Okay, well I think you're disgusting. Bye."

Then Hannah hung up the phone.

People applauded Hannah for how she stood up for the LGBTQ community.

In a follow-up post, Hannah showed another clip from an earlier part of the same interaction that was deleted.

The woman argued approving "that lifestyle" was "wrong," but Hannah immediately told her "I personally very strongly disagree with that, actually."

And when the woman claimed children were committing suicide because of the LGBTQ community, Hannah set the record straight:

"Actually, most of those youths are committing suicide due to a lack of acceptance."


@actuallynothx

Reply to @ohrangacan trying again bc it got deleted (this one is not as fun as the first vid tho) #karen #pridemonth🏳️‍🌈 #customerservice


Fellow TikTokers agreed with the LGBTQ ally and had some choice words for the homophobic customer.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Gavin Newsom Admits He Has No Idea What A 'Zaddy' Is After Becoming Internet Meme

In the wake of the election, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has risen to a new level of fame after he was tapped as the "future of the Democratic Party" in the wake of Kamala Harris's loss.

That of course meant it was only a matter of time before all the internet's young people turned him into a meme. And THAT of course meant it was also only a matter of time before he became an object of people's thirst.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
