Coming out in the workplace. Never attempted it before. Never felt it to be necessary, as I guess I almost quite liked cultivating an image that was somewhat aloof and mysterious. But I'm quite sick of aloof, and it feels like I am coming across as a 2 dimensional character if I don't supply some kind of information about my personal life. After a while of listening to people talk about their boyfriends/girlfriends etc. I felt like I wanted to chime in.
So I did.
Oh the spectrum of reactions!
The shocked boy! Boys are always staggered. Girls not so.
And then, encouragingly, other people starting coming out around me. You can't always rely on that to happen, but it's great if it does.
Nervous and perversely excited to see if this revelation changes my Monday morning.
