Speaking of insensitivity, just found myself too insensitive when I had a shallow discussion with some officemates.
Officemate: May boyfriend ka na?
Me: Wala.
Officemate: Eh girlfriend meron ka?
Me: Baboy mo!!!
I didn't know that my supervisor is a homo. She has a girlfriend. I know I offended her. But the good thing, she recognized the fact that I'm coming from a different perspective.
"Baboy mo" is a point of reference for imagining myself in that situation. It doesn't refer to all people who are in homosexual relationships.
