To...
Today i actually talked to some of the other staff instead of being ignored lol. One thing that pissed me off was something some guy emailed around the office. Let me start from the beginning...when i joined i had to write a short article about myself what i like etc etc. So i did, and in it one line read "i like to hang out with my friends and girlfriend"...this was cut to "i like to hang out with my friends". Now, i know its not everyones cup of tea, but i wasnt exactly rubbing it in everyones faces.Anyhoo, i left it alone and didnt say anything - i understand how maybe he did it to protect me or something, or maybe its not company policy....but now i dont think that at all. Today he emailed around this picture of an HUGE obese naked woman swimming, from underwater with the title "what scares sharks". It was VERY graphic, and i cant believe he got away with it frankly, even in our VERY casual office. The thing is, i can see why thats funny - at first i laughed my ass off...but then it hit me that this was the same guy who commented out my article -- what is worse, the few words "my girlfriend", and me being gay, or explicit pictures? what the hell is going on? I dont think i can kick up a fuss or anything, ive only been there a short while, and a lot of people like this guy. grr.My girl will be over soon, sporting her new hair do...nothing drastic just a trim i think. Yay!

I don't know where you are (in what part of the world) but if it's the UK and this sort of thing carries on you can haul his arse through the courts - discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace is illegal as of December 2003.

yeah i was thinking of just saying something to him directly, i dont think he would make a big fuss and risk being seen as a homophobe to everyone. If he says anything else i will see my supervisor and get his ass kicked! Nice to see you, your journal rocks!
