New fear unlocked and I’m straight
There’s not much you can do. I never befriend women at work outside of professional necessity. However, I don’t restrict my friendships with men to that extent. That may seem less supportive in some respects but that’s what it’s come to in todays working environment.
Bruh take the project transfer. You do not want to be on a team with someone who is going to do that to you.
OP. That makes total sense. Be careful and stay far away from her.
Female here, she's not right in the head, I'm sensing narcissism. Explain your background to HR and definitely move on.
She’s probably jealous of you. There’s always that woman who always plots the downfall of a homosexual man.
You should not just put up with this. HR is siding with her if they are moving you to another engagement. That's an unreasonable resolution to a problem of her mistaken perception of the situation. If you work at KPMG and want help, please DM me and I'll get you in touch with pride@kpmg BRG and DEI resources that will help fix this soft retaliatory response. If you work somewhere else, reach out to your own LGBTQ BRG team for a hand. You shouldn't need their help because HR shouldn't be using this kind of hammer but odds are good your DEI team can step in here.
Yea welcome to the hell thanks to feminists and metoo queens
So many women complain that men aren’t very engaging in the office these days. It’s because of such situations. If everything was about “how the other person felt” then every interaction would make people feel like they are walking on eggshells. We are creating a culture of soft people who get triggered by anything.
Yikes. Hard to advise without more context on her personality and nature of your relationship, but my gut reaction is to consider reaching out to her. I don’t think you need to prove your gayness by bringing your husband, but maybe just tell her the truth? You can acknowledge the lifetime of experience which probably led her to leap to conclusions, and also gently encourage some reflection on her part regarding making assumptions about other people and potentially severely damaging their reputation and career. Like, what if you were straight and also just being nice? You’d never be able to “prove” that you weren’t flirting and this would be so much more difficult for you.
I’m with PM1 on this one. Direct contact may be considered confrontational, as it stands it seems HR is seeing a pattern with her, probably crying wolf one too many times. The best is to find someone senior and neutral to mediate. Hubby can sit this one out.
She sounds like a f*cking moron. Move off the project asap, you don’t need to work with idiots like that
It’s simple. This has happened to me in the past as well - not in a professional setting though. The state of gender relations in today’s society is so broken. The simple act of being nice and having basic courtesy and politeness is mistaken for flirting and romantic advances. Was doing an extracurricular/co-ed team sport and a woman out of the blue sends me a random text saying that she has a boyfriend and that she’s not interested in me romantically. This is funny except I did nothing but be nice to her and smile/make polite conversation. Moreover, she’s much older than me and not my type. I responded professionally and said thanks for the clarification. Takeaway: while men get accused of being delusional/over eager when it comes to courting women, sometimes so are women. They will willingly imagine romantic overtures where there are none, and then proceed to “reject” these proposals in order to feel great about themselves.
I think you should reverse report her to HR for sexually assaulting your sexuality and mis-sexualizing your non sexual desire to play volleyball with her
Dude that’s absurd. Being real for a second it takes about a week working together with someone to assume their sexuality. Considering the fact you’re a proud, open, gay man… she’s a b*tch lmao. Report her ass to hr somehow.
Report her back, she is homophobe
I had something similar happen to me because I told a women that “her hair looked nice” and my wife was with me. Now I refuse to shake hands with females and only communicate via email unless it’s a client.
Wtf 😳 is this world?
Naah bruh...tell us the truth, you was gonna sm*sh if she'd given you green.
My best advice to you, is walk away. This is not about you, this is about her. She has got some stuff going on. You don’t need this person in your life. You don’t need to be her friend. You don’t even need to work with her. Walk and do not look back.
Tell her the world doesn’t revolve around her.
Unless this chick is beyond hyper sensitive, there has to be more to this story.
Women taking sides with women even in this situation…. Maybe that is the greater problem?!?
Report her for discrimination!
Getting your husband involved is wrong. It would be viewed as intimidating.

Male physicians same thing. They always protect themselves by having a female colleague in the examining room with them with a female patient.
Damn sorry, man. I do not envy corporate America through the woke wars, right now. Sounds like all that matters is that HR understands where you are at. Is that right? You have no obligation to justify your normal actions by proving your sexuality. If it feels good though just make sure you drop it in some way 🤣. How about a nice kissing pic with your husband on a sweater?
