Being out here is fairly easy.

Most of you already know me, and you're self-selected: you like me or think I'm interesting, and if you're on my friends list, I like you, find you interesting, or both.

That doesn't mean I'm prepared to tell the people at work that I'm bi and poly. Granted, it's a very heteronormative environment, and I have no job security whatsoever. But the converse of the latter is that I have little to lose, and as for the former, someone would have to go first. It might be easier if I had a present-tense girlfriend to be out about; talking about having spent the weekend with so-and-so is more natural, at least in that context, than coming out as bi to people who know only that I've been involved with [livejournal.com profile] cattitude for a very (pleasantly) long time.
