I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Breaking news!!!

I am gay.

Funny story.

For my whole adult life, whenever I tell someone a story that involves me saying the words, I’m gay, the person I’m talking to will stop me and say, Wait! What? You are gay??? Seriously???

And it’s been true no matter the time in my life.

In Atlanta.

In grad school in Kentucky.

In grad school in San Diego.

In Cincinnati,

In NYC.

At my last 12 jobs.

And it happened today.

I said something about being gay, and an employee interrupted the story and said, Wait!!! What? You are gay? Seriously??? I had no idea.

And before anyone suggests she didn’t know; she has met Adam.

She has waited on him.

I’m pretty sure my having a boyfriend would have clued her into the fact that I am indeed a homosexual.
