gay stuff

[isozyme]

i was talking the other day about how being gay is pretty frictionless for me these days, generally comfortable and easy, and I don't know why I'm so compelled to write about being gay and being in a place that's hostile to those of us who aren't straight

and my wife asked me point-blank "what name to you use at work"

the name i use at work is not the same one i use with my friends, folks

that's not a thing i think about every day.  it's just how it is.  a battle i didn't want to fight.  a thing -- hah -- that i don't feel comfortable dragging myself through in public.  not at work.  nope.

so that's revealing, i suppose






sorry for not posting/responding to comments for a while, i have a deadline that's killing me and a fanfiction that is EATING MY BRAIN so i haven't been in the headspace for bloggin'.  i'm wondering if i can use light grey text to give myself back some whisperspace?  i don't know if it'll work, we'll see.  i miss tags.

:looks guiltily at the entries that obfuscate crush's gender:

ON my blog, not yours. (I have one commenter who is super! cool! with the gay... except that every time I talk about it, there's always a "problem" that is not about gay, it's about oversharing. Or tackiness. Or being "more worldly."

And I know I shouldn't let one exhausting guy shape my discourse, but... sigh.

the whole thing i'm feeling is that it just IS sometimes the one irritating reaction that means you can't handle Another Gay Hurdle.

don't feel guilty about being too tired! the world is fucking exhausting.
