Repeatedly Nominated for a Gay Award

Repeatedly nominated for a gay award at work (NY) Location: NY. My boss keeps nominating me for a gay professional award outside of our organization. Repeatedly, even though I am not gay. I have expressed verbally that I am not gay, and even if I were, I wouldn't want to be recognized for my sexual preferences that would be a part of who I just am. Is there something I can legally do about this? It's weird and frankly embarrassing, but I'm not certain it's sexual harassment or a legal issue? I've had multiple, direct conversations with my boss that consist of something like "I'm not comfortable being nominated for these awards, can you please knock it off." Thanks in advance.

A Reddit advice post describes an employee whose boss repeatedly nominates them for a gay professional award despite their repeated objections and stated sexual orientation. The humor comes from the bizarre workplace misunderstanding and the exaggerated concern over whether the situation is legally actionable.
