is it necessary to come out to the world

[hank]

Look at how sexuality ( mostly the 95% straight population ) is integrated into the media and culture. Its everywhere. A lady usually has less than expected clothiers on but is still considered well dressed. Like it or not the sex is socially its considered important.

there is more than being the best gay man you can be and the term LGBT dosnt cover all. Things are more complicated than being the straight looking man lady. Your do want to look attractive... to your self in the mirror.

I understand things even 5 years ago were a lot different but being gay is no big deal. I expect to be treated like that.

at work i put a pic of my partner out on my desk, find it immediately solves a lot of problems.

I like people to judge me for what I am, not rumor and innuendo.
Mainly if I am out at work as gay and have male friends and very close co-workers it really is much easier. I walk into a small crowded office with a group meeting or have a sit next to a male co worker for 2-3 hours i want to concentrate on the work related issue.

My partner visits me at work from time to time and we take the train back together.

my partner's manager is gay

If I had a husband I would put his picture on my desk. But I don't do pin UPS or raunchy calenders, honesty I like hunting and fishing, maybe some trucks for office decor. I am single.

Let people have their roomer, I don't care. If they have the balls to ask I will tell them. But again I am not a guy you would expect.
