Way way waaaaaaaaaaaay out. I make it a point to NOT hide because I certainly could.
The evil toddler Arwen gets a HUGE kick out of the reactions when the very slow finally catch up.
I had a co-worker (new on our team and at my last job) ask me, "But if you like mannish women, why don't you date women?"
You could see the guys on my team just cringe. They knew me. I'm blunt at times.
I smiled at him as I patted him gently on the leg. "Honey, my dates can buy the size I like."
I left it at that. The look when he got my meaning was PRICELESS. The others on my team harassed him unmercifully. He took it well though. Good kid. I don't think he expected this feminine, older woman (who he said reminded him of his MOM) to be queer.
Where I work now includes transgender in their anti-discrimination policy. At least two managers are openly gay and there are about five of us in the call center. Sadly, I've just learned that my company donated to the Tea Party. I'm going to write a letter and ask why they would support hate.
