I can say it is nothing to worry about and to not take it all that heavy. But if that happened to me I would probably feel hurt. Good thing tho, is that you work at a place where the higher ups support you and take action, that is awesome! I wouldn't take revenge of some sort though. I remember seeing a movie (gosh I wish I was better with names so I could name it) about racism in the USA. How this has changed by a smaller group of black and eventually white people, doing what everyone else did and coping with all the bull->-bleeped-<- and negativity till it slowly but surely turned into a more accepting thing.
It is how I feel it is the same with gender and sexuality. Don't want to start an aggressive war constantly poking each other while we are still in the minority. It is unfair.. but it gets better, and you got your company behind you which is really cool.
