Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

Does your firm have a diversity and inclusion policy? I’m going to guess that the legal protections in this Asian country aren’t great so understanding how your company approaches is probably a god first step.

I wouldn’t reveal too much about your personal life, regardless, but especially not to Mr. Cancer over there
