I'd like to think that I can remain above these things. <br />Nik_TheGreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986723570093229435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340240260464997376.post-38109510866677109932014-03-25T11:48:55.348+00:002014-03-25T11:48:55.348+00:00Why not? :-p

I agree on you on giving it a chance. I will see how it turns out before I make up my mind.

I know one lesbian at work, ...Oh my, this hit home. I know one lesbian at work, she used to be my supervisor until she changed departments. Now, I am alone (though she didn't know I was gay). I am definitely NOT out at work, and given the atmosphere, I doubt that will change any time soon. These people are far right conservatives, and not likely to accept a gay 55 year old man who works in schools. We are all pedophiles, right? Plus, with this state not having ANY LGBT workplace protections (or any other protections, really, given it's an employment at will state), I shall not give them any reason to not want me employed. <br /><br />I agree, cliques are not good. On the other hand, affinity groups, such as the one at the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond that flew a rainbow flag last year during June for its LGBT group, are probably OK. But I suspect a high-rise houses more than a few gay folks!<br /><br />I think you should at least give it a chance. Drinks every now and then.
