A young girl has just started @ the place where i work and i work weekends with her Fri & Sat night i had?

Question

a idea she was gay as she kept saying partner,So i asked and she said she was gay this doesn't affect me in the way we work together she is a good laugh and so far we get on great . But now it has began to filter out about her being gay and the people on the day shift are asking me all sorts of questions and it's not my place to answer them i refuse to spread gossip about her after all there is nothing wrong with her .

So what do i do about it should i tell her or just hope it blows over as it's a new thing to gossip about and the people are narrow minded.I don't want her to leave as it get's lonely @ the weekends working on your own and she doesn't make me feel uneasy .

Answer 1

She confided in you not the work place...I wouldn't tell a soul. I agree with you it isn't your place so if I were you I would continue to play dumb

Answer 2

I would try to tell her in a way that wont hurt her feelings. I don't think I could keep it from her especially if I looked at her as a friend. As a lesbian I know how people can assume the wrong thing about you and the fact that you are gay. I would however want someone to tell me that there were roumors going around about me so I could be aware of the problem and know who to talk to and who to keep away from.
If she has been gay for awhile then she would more than likely just blow it off. I would just tell her that she needs to watch who she talks to about her personal life because someone other than you is telling everyone on the day shift. I have a friend where I work and she had the same situation she knew I was gay and everyone was asking her about it and she thought the same way she told me about it and at first I felt very angry that people would behave so childish about the situation. But as an adult I realized that not everyone will be so open minded and being lesbian for quite some time now I just dealt with the harshness and kept my head up. I did however thanked her deeply for telling me and now I monitor what I say and who I say it to.

Answer 3

You are absolutely right in your thinking! There is nothing wrong with her. She has made her choices in life just like anyone else and just because she is a Lesbian doesn't mean she will hit on every woman she meets. She like any of the rest of us will have her preferences and standards.
As for the gossip you can simply tell your co workers that you find her a pleasant human being, and that they should direct their questions directly to her. Your strength of character may not stop the gossip altogether but it will diminish it and it will give her a boost as a friend.

Answer 4

You are a stand up person in my book.
You should not judge someone for there sexual preference.
Those who so judge are more simple minded than they know.
Tell the other people that it really is not any of there business and to let it go.
Her performance at work is as good if not better than there's and she is to be commended.
Also tell them that she does not ask about there private life so what makes them think that they have a right to ask about hers.
And most of all, stand by her, do not listen when they start badgering and belittling.
If any are "Christian" tell them that there is One judge and it ain't them.
Good luck and thank you for being you.

Answer 5

Good for you! You are doing a very good thing. Something I wish so many others would do. Support this girl and don't repeat what she says. She probably needs a friend, just as you do, to make work more fun.

This will all become old news quickly. You're doing a great job!

Answer 6

Good job. Keep up the good work. Gossip is evil.
