How many of you are "out" at your work place? Are you the only gay person there, or are there others? Does being gay have any relevance in what you do? The questions are endless on this topic. Please share what ever you want.

Re: Being "Out" at Work
Sun, April 15, 2007 - 9:26 AMbeing gay has absolutely nothing to do with my job. I don't hide it, but I find sex has as much to do with work as a hockey game.
I find it really annoying when someone (gay str8 or whatever) cannot leave personal things at home...... work is work..... if your personal life cannot be left at the door, then it forces others to paricipate whether they like to or not, and I find that selfish.
I know there are other examples, this is only my opinion.

Re: Being "Out" at Work
Sun, April 15, 2007 - 12:25 PMmaybe a little off topic- but what about this fucking "bring your kids to work day"?
My company is having one this week- so I get to sit around a bunch of diseased ridden little snot nosed kids- but you know I have to be nice to them- when I want to say leave your fucking kids at home and leave me alone

Mon, April 16, 2007 - 1:13 AMWell im a filmmaker and owns and runs my own production company so being "out at work" doesn't really apply to me because I am my own boss and call all the shots. :P -

Re: Being "Out" at Work
Mon, April 16, 2007 - 1:50 PMI never found the need to be "out" because I never considered myself "in". My sexuality is my business, I do not advertise it, but if anyone asks I always tell them that I am gay, if they don't like it, it is their problem -

I had a warehouse gig a few years back that was absolutely the ideal argument for coming out at work, The shop was essentially peopled with young gangsters and old ex cons. One has to prove themselves a bit, but beyond that it turned out to be totally great. Anyone who's been incarcerated for a few years knows gay sex. Once a young guy started trying to rip on me a bit and about 10 of the most hard core brotha's you ever met in your life "came out" just to mess with his head. He was one of those guys that brags endlessly about his hoes, and the guys were tired of it. the number of great anecdotes from that gig far exceeds my ability to type.
Very very good times!
