So.... I miiiiight have a problem with thinking before I speak sometimes.
Usually it doesn't end TOO badly.... at least it hasn't yet. :/ Anyways, that's not the story I want to tell you. I want to tell you what happened at work tonight.
So, just for a little bit of back story, I work at a clothing store, and I happen to be REALLY good at my job. Tonight, the store was just a complete and total disaster. We were lucky someone else had come in to help us. So we were all talking after we finished with the last customer, and my gay co-worker kind of admitted to liking girls too. He said he's just attracted to people. It doesn't bother me in the least.
But then, for some reason, I felt the need to say, "Whelp, he's not the only one." Now up until this point, the only person that knew was the manager. But the new girl was there and she found out too. And it's my own damn fault for opening my mouth. But thank GOD she didn't freak out. She actually kind of had a feeling, which raises a whole NEW set of questions.
Do I exude something that makes people think I'm queer? If I do, does that mean I really am? And where does that leave my mom's arguments? But the whole thing made me kind of grateful that my workplace IS a safe and open-minded, non-discriminatory place. I realize it's NOT the same everywhere, and it can get awkward when you work in a clothing store with a mostly female staff. I'm just.... grateful. And it made me feel good to not have to defend myself for once when the subject of my sexuality was brought up.
Maybe there is hope in this world after all.... just not in my house. :/
Until next time lovelies.
