So there’s a guy at work who’s twenty-two. He’s really nice, he’s good fun. But for some reason he hasn’t twigged on the whole ‘Tom is a big homo’ thing. In fact I don’t think any of them have. Now in almost every single other job I’ve ever had I’ve made it fairly clear that I’m a great big homo really quickly, but for some reason I quite liked the completely-not-an-issue thing of not having my sexual preference being discussed even a little bit. So I didn’t mention it. And of course now it’s getting harder to say anything. Particularly every time the really nice, well-intentioned 22-year-old makes some dumb joke about how he’s worried I might be gay because I don’t like football much. Very frustrating. I just don’t want to embarrass anyone… Sigh…
