as told to truemajority

so I got put in a really awkward position today

people at work don't know I'm a lesbian. like, not just not know, but actively assume I'm straight, and...for whatever reason, I've done nothing to address that assumption. mostly because they're all kind of rednecky, with all the shit that goes along with that.

so randomly today some girl decided she wants to set me up with her brother. and I had this total anxiety panic breakdown moment and my brain went to this place where my only possible answers were LOL I'M A LESBIAN or OKAY SURE AWESOME.

so now some guy is getting my number and is going to call me at some point for a date. and she showed me his picture and he is REDNECKY. and, I mean, you are aware there are men that kind of DISABLE the lesbian thing but none of them are REDNECKY. they are GIRLY. so.

also she asked me when we were sitting alone but then she mentioned it to some people so there are MULTIPLE PEOPLE at work who are going to want, like, GOSSIP about my heterosexual experience

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO, HELP.

Also, not a single one of the things I worked on in counseling are getting me to stop kicking my ass over not being all I AM A DYKE right from the get-go. NORMALLY I AM REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT. But it's not like I could've foreseen this! Who looks at someone who lip-syncs and dances to the High School Musical soundtracks on her iPod while working and thinks OMG PERFECT SISTER-IN-LAW MATERIAL.
