@Brolls I've never gotten bullied from it in the workplace or in school, but being gay is definitely a punchline of a lot of jokes at school which can be annoying and cringe worthy most of the time. I've had at least one friend that calls me a faggot when he's genuinely mad at me, so thats fun.

Alot of people don't even consider that the workplace has its own culture, especially if that culture already matched their own when they got there. So when people come in and are put off by the culture of the workplace, they just scoff and say "get used to it", without realizing where the other person is coming from.

It can be annoying for sure, but my approach has been to not let anyone know I have a boyfriend unless specifically asked or my boyfriend is with me. It may lead to some awkward relationships when they find out but it's definitely better short-term, I don't even know how long I'll be at this company anyways.

@Brolls I used to work for my town's DPW (Department of Public Works) in high school. Basically the town's landscapers.

The shit they said about women they passed by was so bad (anyone from age 16-50), I had to just sit there and agree because they're very much the type that wouldn't want to even look at me if I told them I was gay. "Hey look at that fine piece of ass, would really like to get inside that, right?"

I like how a lighthearted post turned into a clusterfuck of opinions and politics (lighten up).

Anyways, most people I've met have been totally fine when they find out I'm gay. No-one would really know if I didn't tell them, but when I do they're not all that surprised.

Being gay would be helpful to find dates within my major, but I was already dating before I went to college, so no real advantage there.

It's not necessarily a gay thing, but being able to see how thirsty some of the guys are at school is pretty cringe-worthy, makes me very glad I'm not a girl in CS.

The best stories are definitely when people try and talk to me about picking up hot chicks and they turn to me and say "know what I'm saying?" I just smile and nod.
