I feel this, I work in the LTL (shipping and trucking) industry so there's a lot of people who are very much not comfortable around me once they found out I'm not straight.
I haven't had to go to HR about it for more than 1 person but it's something that I've noticed for sure
Honestly, I can't go to HR, so it's kind of stressing me out. My boss doesnt give a fuck, but if he decides he does, I'm out the door.
And I'm sure this isn't a news flash to anyone here, but it's fucking irritating. Buncha squares made their little lives so safe, boring, and miserable that they have to latch onto anything different and destroy it to avoid thinking about it.
thanks for using Leebra!

I'm actually not, but my best friend is Bi, and at my last couple jobs, it was often assumed that I was. I was a bartender, and I absolutely flirted with other men if it made me money or got a creep out the door non confrontationally.
Being able to flirt and be friendly with whoever I wanted was nice. Unfortunately at THIS job, someone found out I'm going to pride tomorrow to my friend, and now I'm being frozen out. I had a talk with HR yesterday that people are "uncomfortable" with me walking a lap through the office in the afternoon to stretch my legs.
Fuck office work. That's all I'm going to say.
