Employee of the Month

This is the wonderful story of Alex and his best friend.

Alex who is straight, told everyone at work he's gay. So Alex asked his best friend of 7 years Ryan, who is gay to play his boyfriend.

Read on to discover more.

Reading this story reminded me of The Brave Little Tailor. Just like the tailor, Alex finds himself caught in one misunderstanding after another. He accidentally comes out as gay at work, and then every attempt to support the LGBTQ+ community somehow becomes more "proof" that he's gay and already has a boyfriend. Before he knows it, he's even been named 'Employee of the Month' for his commitment to diversity and inclusion! The misunderstandings just keep piling up, making for a hilarious comedy of errors.

But just like in the fairy tale, all those misunderstandings end up leading somewhere unexpected. By the time the dust settles, Alex discovers that the biggest misunderstanding of all might have been the one about himself.

This is a story full of humor, warmth, and heart. It made me laugh more than once, but it also has a beautiful message about identity, acceptance, and finding the courage to be yourself.

Alex jumped into the deep end at a critical corporate meeting and stated he was gay. The heavens parted and he was critically acclaimed as the company's first openly gay employee. The CEO saw he was central to winning a huge corporate account overseen by a gay CEO. Alex was named Employee of the Month, a newly created honor, and will be featured at a lavish celebration that the gay CEO will attend.

The problem is that Alex does not really consider himself gay and he is tormented by the lie. He has lived with Ryan for 7 years and Ryan is gay. To solve his PR problem, Alex fabricates that Ryan as his gay partner.

Read on the find out how Alex handles his personal problem and how Ryan and Alex further define or redefine their relationship. Is this going to be a tragedy ?
