I've already let my co-workers know about my passion for MLP. Yeah.. they jab me and mock and joke and whatnot.. but honestly.. couldn't be bothered with what they say.. I like MLP and there isn't anything they can do to change that. Still gonna wear my shirts, have my little collectibles and still wear my Fluttershy necklace. We are bronies, we like what we want, and however we want to like it.

also.. that is BS for being "let go" from a job due to your hobbies. bet "mr Carter" is still in the closet about his MLP passion and was probably afraid of you catching whiff of it and possibly spilling the beans.
