DO I LOOK GAY?

Yesterday, one of my female colleagues suddenly asked me "Are you dating Mr X?" I was totally shocked. For such a long time, I appeared to be so straight in front of all my straight friends. Even some of my gay friends kept on asking me if I was really gay.

Well, I do admit that I can't see myself clearly, the way I behave or act. Mostly I depend on peoples' (around me) comments whether I appeared to be straight or gay.

I do not feel "very proud" to be gay, but I just want to be who I am. I always feel sexuality is very personal, and should not incorporate ego into it. When someone told me "I am straight/gay/bi", in my heart I'll say "So what?"

In corporate world, though, I can't reveal my sexuality due to working environment and career advancement. That's why I am practically still in a closet in workplace and of course, to my family members.

If I work in industries such as fitness, media, advertising, fashion etc, I really do not mind to reveal myself. But what to do, sometimes we need to be hiding ourselves in order to earn a living. Sigh!

Anyway, for those who know me and meet me in person before, can you "smell" I am gay? Ha ha ha
