I’m fairly new to LGBTQ+, having only recently come out. Is there an etiquette around joining my LGBTQ+ group at work? If someone asks, is it rude to disclose my sexuality or ask someone theirs? Apologies if these are stupid questions, but I want to be respectful.

In short, you can identify yourself however you want. Disclose your sexuality as much or as little as you want. But be careful asking others theirs. If you’re 100% certain they’ll be cool with the question go for it, but otherwise you don’t want to put someone in a position to put themselves before their ready. Personally, I steer clear of asking others. I let them tell me if and when they’re ready

When I started feeling more comfortable being out at work, I started out by joining our LGBTQ+ ENG’s MS Teams site. Since I was already on the local diversity, equity, and inclusion committee, I decided to take the responsibility of leading an LGBTQ+ initiative and ended up becoming the lead for the ENG in our local office. So now I work with the national ENG team and get to decide on local events (this happened over the course of maybe 2 months).

As for disclosing sexuality, I haven’t really done that in a formal capacity but I have mentioned my sexuality casually in a local office diversity event/discussion.

Agree with Counsel1!! You should be free to talk about yourself, that’s kind of the point of these groups, but personally I don’t think it’s cool to put people on the spot and ask them about their sexuality - even in the context of an LGBTQ+ group. They can speak about it if they’re comfortable.

I dont know if this is an LGBT problem or something everyone faces, but I always bring my partner of 12 years to firm holiday parties or anything that allows plus-1 and has free alcohol and shrimps. He knows my coworkers as I've been with same firm for 10 years. Last night was one of these nights. He makes small talk with my coworkers and then later my coworkers all say to me essentially the same thing "I like [partner's name], he's a good guy." I have no idea what to say to that.
