Trading floor culture for queers

Saw a lot of posts about trading floor has more of a dominant sportsy boys, which I have no problem with. Just curious for a gay dude, what it is going to feel like to work on the trading floor? Or what’s your honest opinion as a bystander?

I’m not closeted and am pretty chilled and honestly couldn’t care less about if you are gay or not (yep am a conservative gay dude lol) Only thing is that I absolutely can’t do sports talk cus no freakin idea about any sports. I lift often tho so that’s it lol - just wonder if that would hinder my social presence with peers - cheers!
