      For me, I've been lucky to not be discriminated against for being gay. My attitude isn't of "coming out," but being married, it only really comes out in general conversation. Whether or not you know I'm gay, I'm gay. Unless you're interested, you really shouldn't care either way. I usually get some surprised looks of a mixed bag of "I didn't know you were gay" or "I didn't know you were out," I give them a confused look and say, "Duh," we laugh, and move on.

      My previous job was in group homes and my current job is at a organization which is huge in the LGBT+ community, so it was almost assumed I my orientation wasn't straight.

        Yes, I am. I'm lucky to be at an org that emphasizes diversity (of all sorts), and they do a good job of making it work in practice.

        Like me. I am part of the company's LGBT+ ERG.  😄

                    Yes, and I look at myself as an example of a gay person so if anyone has an issue they will slowly learn i'm just like everyone else.

                        I am, if people ask. But no one really asks

                          Not entirely.

                          But if asked I do not deny it that's for sure.

                            my thing now is i make not so subtle statements indicating to it like if they ask if i have a girlfriend i say "no, but i also dont have a boyfriend". because rarely do people can upfront ask you "hey are you gay?" in a professional work setting
