Tell Your Stories

In 2000, I interviewed for a employment position. I had mixed emotions about revealing my sexual orientation. I finally brought it up at the end of the interview. My reasoning: I wouldn't want to work anywhere where I didn't fit in or where I might cause people to feel uncomfortable.

My future boss's reaction: "Wonderful!!! My wife will have no reason to be jealous!!"

Go figure.

Unfortunately, similar situations don't always have "positive" (?) endings. . .I have my negative stories, too.
