Totally irrelevant to practising law in the regions.

During my training contract at a regional firm, amidst Friday drinks, the CEO made a joke about "poofs".

Then there was the office gossip about the perceived sexuality of another trainee, based purely on her looks.

Then there was the time I was cornered in my office and asked by an associate (now partner at the same firm) on how my family felt about my sexuality and my life choices (as if that was relevant at all to my position as a trainee solicitor)

This was 2011 by the way, not 1981...
