To be open about your sexuality at work

[onewatcher]

I don't think sexuality or any kind just like religion or politics should be discussed at work.

You know, I don't talk at work about what sexual position I like, or how many sex acts I've participated in, or anything like that. But if someone assumes I'm straight, I correct them, and if someone asks about my wife or girlfriend, I say, "No, in my case, I have a BOYfriend," or something similar.

You don't have to know whether someone likes to be tied to their chandelier and ravished on their dining room table to know which gender they're more attracted to.

NCbear (who thinks talking at work about sexual acts is and should be verboten, but who thinks talking at work about "the love of my life" should be just as acceptable as when straight people say the words "wife" or "husband" in conversation--there's a huge difference between sexuality and orientation)

for myself, I'm straight, so that's accepted, almost assumed, implied. if you are gay, carefully evaluate every one of your co-workers, because once you tell one of them, you tell ALL of them. and some people just can't accept gays. for myself, you are what you are, it doesn't bother me, don't try to "recruit" me or embarrass me in public. I was friends with a gay guy long ago, I told him, I was straight. don't put no moves on me. sometimes in public, we worked together as retail clerks, he would call me "honey" or "sweetie", and one day he tried to kiss me in front of a mother with her 12yo son. he was not only gay, but kind of nuts.
