A new study by the Center for Work-Life Policy think tank has found that 48 percent of college-educated lesbian and gay Americans hide their sexual orientation at work. About a third of them are leading "double lives," the report says--staying in the closet at the office while being "out" in their personal lives

When I’m at work, my boss sometimes makes me think of butt heads.

This is interesting as the left has pushed the pc agenda so far in corporate America that if a man was to express or do something that expresses sexuality in any way the HR Nazis would on him like white on rice.

Anyone else out there had to sit through those friggin training films that portrays the "correct male" to be a neutered drone?

Personally it’s better if a person does not be overtly homosexual at the office. As a matter of fact, I’m also a bit tired of the heterosexuals who are so in-your-face about their sexuality. Some subjects are really private, and should remain so.

It’s tiring to be constantly bombarded with information about people’s sex lives. Why should any one else care anyway?????

Has it reached the point where people are tired of the obvious agenda?

Evidently not. The elites decided that gays were the New Blacks, and that's that. Even when the Old Blacks (at least the preachers) say they've had enough, their views are ignored or written off.

No, it only looks like a closet. We call it a cubicle.

Good, let them stay behind their closed doors...It would do our nation well if they’d all go behind closed doors to do their deeds....and our kids would be far far better for them doing so.

I had a gay co-worker who mentioned (more than once) that he knew that one of the local tv weathermen was gay. Then I thought about it and decided *any* of the local tv weatherman might be gay...

You must live in Houston. *cough!*

Right... the gray-haired executive who swishes down the hall looking like his butt hurts all the time, who talks with a lisp and who drives a VW Beetle is totally in the closet. No one knows.

Maybe it's just me ... and I am sure there is a pill I could take for it ... but since I am over 50, I am pretty much sick of everyone's sexuality. Just shut the hell up about it already.

But most don’t think about that. I had a gal at work who said she had no problem with “Gays”. At which I quickly said ..”Then you don’t have a problem knowing a man puts his frontage in someones butt”.

Her arms flung out with a cry of Ewwwww-wwww! So it rather put things in the right perspective as far as I’m concerned. She didn’t take it further either...had she done so I would have asked her why she chose to become a supporter of sodomites.

Call it what it is and people have a very different reaction. Same with killing unborn children.

Well maybe if the gals would not present their full clevages into every mans face at work they wouldn't be thinking about it so much either! I'm a woman and I get tired of seeing womans boobs...especially those who are past forty who have sundamaged, sunspotted, and wrinkled cleavages...yulk! What makes them think that's attractive I'll never understand. Then there are those who bend and there muffins hang over their butt for the world to see....and my work place has a dress code and STILL they flaunt their fat and but cracks!

Oh that's too funny ponygirl!.... we have one of them at my workplace but he's low on the totem pole....does the same thing though. They do have a walk do they not!

The Doctor's in ER can always tell what's been going on when the guys walk into the examination room. You'd never believe some of the stuff they retrieve.....one Dr. actually had a flashlight, still on, beam back at him! hahaahah!

Precious memories: my female coworker and I drove to a contractor’s to pick up some repaired equipment. I called the gal behind the counter “beautiful Jenna” because she really was and wanted all and sundry to know it, too. Juggling both job orders and repaired items, Jenna bent, knelt, and pirouetted for me, leaving no doubts about her attributes including the tat on the small of her back (though there’s something I do like about freckled boobs!).

Meanwhile my coworker was seething. She stormed out of the shop and when I climbed behind the wheel of the minivan she sat silently for a moment and then shouted, “TRAMP!!”

I look back now from the vantage of retirement. Oh, youth!

;^)

They make it sounds as if everyone is gay.

Hmm ~ funny, everybody where I worked knew who all the homosexuals were ~ including the "closeted" ones. They just imagine folks don't know.

For the most part you get into one of these gray federal agency office situation type working environments there's really no time for that sort of thing. The most troublesome employees turn out to be those who go to the closest tavern at 11 AM and don't come back.
