"Bisexual adults were significantly less likely to come out than their LGTQ+ peers, with 47% saying they aren't out to extended family, 38% saying they aren't out to coworkers, 35% saying they aren't out to parents, 28% saying they aren't out to siblings, and 9% saying they aren't out to friends".

How many LGBTQ+ adults are out of the closet? Almost all — with these exceptions

Around 96 percent of LGBTQ+ adults have come out as queer to at least one person.

I might have to tackle the City of Angels AU that's been rattling around in my brain. If anyone wants to collab on writing it, I'm open to that. Otherwise, it might have to wait until next Whumptober. I haven't decided if I want to change the ending.

Why does being interviewed for a job feel like an out-of-body experience?
It's an administrative assistant/client service position at a boutique investment firm. IDK if I would enjoy that, but I'm willing to find out.

Seriously! I would always do it that way, if I were a supervisor. There's no need for bosses/managers to freak people out over nothing.

You're welcome.

Did you know that "Heart of Gas" was the original title of the Blondie song before their producer convinced Debbie Harry to change it?

And a lot of non-nationalist Christians are not familiar either.

Christian nationalists can quote chapter and verse as well as any other variety of Christians to justify their behavior or stance on any particular issue.

It’s a male loneliness epidemic, but find a lonely man on a dating app and ask him if he’s looking for a relationship, and he’ll say no, just friends with benefits, so you say ok, like we go to the movies sometimes and also have sex and it’s like no, just sex, so you say ok, so we hook up…

I think it went really well, but I don't know the salary/benefits yet, and they have more candidates to interview, so I have to be patient for a couple of weeks.
