Pink sweaters

After our gay "coordinating person" wore a light pink sweater to work last week (which I rather liked), the discussion on "pink" erupted at last. The psychologist (the real one) said that she wouldn't dress her son (5) in pink and that the one time she tried something fuchsia on him as a baby, her husband protested rather heavily. She'd never thought about why it was ok for a girl to dress like a boy, but not vice versa. How negligent of her. Glad I put that right.
So when I said my mother used to dress me like a boy when I was a baby, and how that had obviously had its effects on me now I got a few (two) blank looks.
A little later she told me the penny had dropped.
My male colleague had enlightened her that I was living with "a girlfriend".
Aaah yes.
I could be pissed.
But it means I don't have to tell them myself.
I'm guessing that by Thursday all three offices of the company know.
Damn.
Guess I won't have to wear my "Gaytime TV" t-shirt to the personnel meeting after all...
