I consider myself a lesbian, but no one at work knows. Not that that directly bothers me because I'm not one to bring my private life to work. However, sometimes they make comments that upset me because I feel they are being a bit homophobic and intolerant. I speak up for my beliefs without saying that I am gay, but sometimes I feel they need to know that they are directly offending me. And sometimes they question me on why I don't have a boyfriend and if an attractive male customer comes in, they motion to me and say things like "you should get his number." I get annoyed by this. However I don't want my sexuality to be an issue with my work and I don't want it to effect their view of me, but I'm just tired of it all. I know that they can't fire me because of my sexual orientation, but I just don't think my sexual preference is any of their business. What can I do to feel more comfortable at work?
