So after my recent coming out.
Which is going awesomely btw. (I love to talk about being gay and in LOVE openly.)I have found out that not one but two other women at my work are gay and not only gay but MARRIED. howfreakingawesomeisthat?!
I do not, however, work in the same department as them or even in the same building. Buuuuut I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the people I came out to recently, told one of these gay ladies that I am also in the circle-of-trust. Why do I think this? She totally did the Lesbian-Backwards-Head-Nod. AND smiled. She's gotta know. I secretly hope she does.
Michael: Can you tell who's gay and who's not?
Dwight: Of course.
Michael: What about Oscar?
Dwight: Absolutely not.
Michael: Well he is.
Dwight: Well, he's not dressed in women's clothes, so...
Coming out is difficult because you never know what reaction you are going to get. Luckily for me, the only truly negative reactions that I have had are from people I don't want to be friends with anyway. But coming out is one thing. Working out who is gay and who is just a superdry fan is super difficult.
Michael: Do some research. Find out if there's a way to tell just by looking at them.
Dwight: Jim told me you could by gaydar online.
I often find myself having the is she/isn't she conversation but unless she has her hands down another girls trousers and is glued to her face, how do you really know? At Norwich Pride 2009 a woman was speaking about how lesbians check each other out when they see another could-be-lesbian but they never do the head nod, or smile when secretly we all want the head nod and the smile because we all like to feel a part of the secret club that is LESBIANISM.
So if you see me in the street and I do the head nod at you, its because I think you are, or should be, batting for my team.
You had better not do the head nod at me...I just like superdry ok??!!
