I am out more than I thought I would ever be at work. It's not common knowledge but I have told a few people that are close and then there are also some gay people there that are out and they know as well.
I don't discuss it for just any old reason. But, if someone is trying to fix me up (rme) as in wanting me to meet their brother for the 5th time (rme again) I finally just tell them so I can get on with things and try and hang out with the few that know my sexual preference without all that stuff.
My boss also knows because i felt that was important in case i am someday in a relationship and my partner or their family get sick/die etc.
I have been totally accepted by it all at least to my face. It makes me more comfortable and i'm glad i've at least told the few that I have.
