Hello friends with identifying letters, I’ve known for a long time that I was bi and finally accepted the label last year. Something clicked recently and now I’m embracing the label too, gently caress suppressing it because that’s led to a lifetime of depression. It’s a hell of a thing to finally understand and accept when you’re already married with kids. I’m thankful that my wife is a great partner, an ally and supportive. When we were watching a new show a couple of days ago and a new character came on screen, I felt comfortable enough to go “he’s cute” and it just wasn’t a thing. I don’t know what the future holds but I feel like I actually have one to look forward to for the first time in forever. Not gonna come out to my mom though, she’s evangelical christian homophobic and part of why I suppressed myself for so long.

oh yeah, it’s not something I really plan to broadcast, just live my truth more with those I know, where appropriate. People at work? Nah, not happening even though we have a good environment for diversity and inclusion. I don’t care about being seen for who I am there, because what matters is the quality of work that I do, nothing more. up until the last post there were only three people in the world besides my wife who knew (all women friends, hmmm). I’ve been hiding and compartmentalizing this for so long that there was even a moment of hesitation before pressing post. y’know what though? scary as it is, it’s incredibly freeing.

had an interview today and specifically asked if they had a diversity, equity, and inclusion statement that they could send to me, because I couldn’t find one on their website. I think I’m gonna ask that in every interview now, because then that easily leads into company culture questions.

I’m on our HOA board and our president wants to do a rewrite of our bylaws, getting rid of a lot of unnecessary crap from the original construction period, adding a few minor things, etc. The dude is a 24/7 Fox News watching boomer but I got him to accept my edits of his draft to change any he/she reference to they/them to be more inclusive. Not gonna have gendered poo poo on my watch if I can help it.
