I've tried to do that but unfortunately when you say "girlfriend" as a female they think you mean just a friend. I swear I could bring a girl and makeout with her in front of the office and people would think we are just really close friends 😂

Coming out stories in general, or in the workplace? I've casually dropped references to my sexuality in conversations with coworkers, like mentioning that my ex-girlfriend and I vacationed in a specific place, or when asked about my weekend plans I responded that I'd be attending NYC Pride, etc. There are opportunities all the time to be your authentic self at work without having to make a big deal of it.

I've never seen the big deal with needing to come out to people. Coworkers typically find out when I mention my boyfriend in conversation just as anyone else would mention their significant other.
