AITA for not supporting the only other gay guy in our office?

NTA, no matter how hard everyone else on this sub are patting themselves on the back for saying you’re the asshole, Jamie is in the wrong and needs to start behaving like a fucking adult.

You aren’t the asshole for not supporting Jamie, Jamie’s the asshole for not at any point supporting you and then ultimately losing your friend his job over a joke between other people that he wasn’t okay with.

Your friend was making jokes about YOU to YOU and Jamie even acknowledged that, but did he at any point before he made the report come up to you and ask if you were okay with it, offer support or do any of the things he and the other employees are now expecting from you?

At the end of the day it’s ok if he felt uncomfortable with your banter, Ive never been through any of the tough shit that people in the gay community have to put up with so I really cannot judge. But now that he knows it was a joke just between you two and not a personal attack on him, imo he should accept that it wasn’t to his taste and after an apology from you and your friend just move on with it.

At the end of the day he’s lost your friend his job over a joke you had and is now expecting you to support him regardless
