Coming out day today

babysimonI was going to write something like: "Bi. Poly. SMer. Transvestite. Too busy to write more; check my interests."
But that's a bit minimal even for me, so here are some very rushed thoughts on the topic.
I've found that coming out needs to be a continuous process - I came out as bi at the pub immediately after my job interview at LShift but by the time I started people had forgotten. And I came out as poly at my previous job when my boss read the appropriate copy of The Big Issue, but then he left and it never came up again.
Of course both examples pertain to work; we'll assume my friends know everything anyway.
