I now mention that I am bisexual much quicker with new colleagues or in job interviews. I mention it as an aside, like it’s the most natural thing in the world. This makes me feel empowered in my sexuality rather than treating it like it’s something icky that I need to hide. It also acts as a litmus test because if people get awkward—or worse—when I mention that I am bisexual, then that is probably not going to be a work environment in which I am going to thrive. Now that I know the freedom of bisexual authenticity at work I don’t think I’ll ever go back.
