I hope someone will show me how to handle my current situation at work. I have recently made a stupid mistake by coming out to 2 of my female co-workers. One of them has a gay brother. I told them to treat me like any other workers, and absolutely no sexual innuendoes, gay gestures or anything as such. I also told them I will not be out at work because I don't know how people will behave/react, and I better not jump into the pool without testing the water. And I intent to test the water very slowly. However, I am comfortable being myself, and sexual orientation is irrelevant at work, so I don't want to make it a big concern that might effect my work performance.
Yet, I am still feeling unsettled and insecure due to unable to control the situation. I can make things very clear with the supervisor and asks her to stop any unbecoming behavior from the bud, but I don't want to make a big fuss. Please give me some advices as to how should I handle my current situation? Thanks
