The premise

Here’s the bit.

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.
