I'm not persecuted. I'm just an asshole.
A proudly gay man gets offended when a coworker raises some complaints about his behavior around the office.

In an office, a flamboyant gay employee repeatedly dismisses a coworker's complaints as homophobic. The coworker tries to explain that he is not objecting to the man's sexuality, but to disruptive and inappropriate conduct around the workplace. When the coworker's boyfriend arrives, he calmly agrees that the complaints are about behavior, not identity, leading the office worker to a sudden moment of self-awareness: he is not being persecuted; he is simply being an asshole.
