Actually, my reading of the document is that “silence” will be construed as disapproval by an LGBT employee. I believe that that is a factual statement. The statement is not a threat to a manager.
It is only a threat as far as someone assuming that a feeling of disapproval from an LGBT employee could lead to consequences. You are free to read this into the document, but it isn’t an overt threat.
I had a Facebook “Friend” defriend me, because they noticed that I never “liked” and of their pro-gay propaganda they posted, although I never even commented on it....they clearly wanted affirmation, and they simply defriended anyone who didn’t do so....no big loss.
Yes, but according to the most basic tenets of PC theory, if you feel threatened, then you are threatened, and the intent of the speaker or writer is irrelevant.
Look at point no. 7 on the attachment. It is official dogma from the department.
