Almost a decade ago, I came out the first time.
I used to be an optimist.
Anyway, although the response was not that bad. HR basically said that since the policy doesn't speak to sexual orientation that it was up to me to defend myself about the verbal stuff.
The thing is,.. it didn't stay verbal.
I went to a work thing and had alcohol... I was a little happy.. Not happy happy, just loose.
I walked out to the car park by myself and got grabbed and gropped by one of my coworkers.
I actually froze.. which is not a very good response.
Had not another woman turned around as she was in the carpark and called out, it could have been more serious.
I no longer socialise with coworkers in general and certainly when I find it hard to avoid.. no alcohol.
