The supervisor is intent on reinforcing training which avoids and appeases. Infuriating as it is, I indicate that if NWA includes OUT, they know who their clientele is and this private company which represents NWA needs to train their agents that using the words “Gay and Lesbian” is NOT rude!!!!!!

I understand your frustration. However, the call center is most likely a contractor for the magazine firm. The magazine firm probably pays them on a per call basis. If so, the magazine firm dictates exactly what they can and cannot say. The supervisor may not even have a way to give adequate feedback to the magazine firm.

I would have remained calm and asked for an address to write to the magazine firm with my comments. As for the website, I would address the issue with NWA.
