In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, grams organization set up a tent hospital in Central Park. I went online and volunteered to work there. My application proceeded to the point of a personal interview, when I revealed that I'm a gay man. Then my services were no longer desired. I was explicitly told I would not be welcome as a volunteer because I'm gay.

You don't get more homophobic than that.
