Title: Hey, I have found myself in a bit of a bind at my job over the last several months. A little backstory, I am a bisexual man in a relationship with a woman. I&#x27;m not sure how it happened for me this way, but it did, and I am honest about who I am with those that are close to me. So, here is my current situation:<p>I started working at a part of Oracle back in September, and over the next several months my coworkers one aisle over from me have begun talking about my sexuality in a very demeaning manner. They are I guess &#x27;whispering&#x27;, but I can clearly hear them talking about whether I am gay or not on a close to daily basis. This is also followed up with jokes about how I &#x27;think&#x27; I&#x27;m Bi, and how thats a bunch of bullshit. I work in an area where I am one of the only engineers and am surrounded by a bunch of what I would call Prep School types.<p>I have tried to ignore it, and brush it off, but it gets in my head and makes me really upset. Which is then in turn misinterpreted as me having a &#x27;bad attitude&#x27;. I have opened up to several other people at work about it and they have suggested going to HR. I have never really been the type to go to teacher, but I feel like I&#x27;m kind of out of options here. I also worry about the possible repercussions of it.<p>I guess I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar boat? And perhaps has some advice to share? Thanks
