My social circle is mostly unchanged, on the supportive to very supportive side for LGBTQ. However one friend works in sales for oil & gas, and he's the far outlier. And whenever I've met other friends of his in the same field they all have the same ugly (and false) beliefs about the LGBTQ community. Seems like that industry is a magnet for ignorant and easily misled people
