[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

You don't have to announce you're straight. Everyone knows and assumes you are anyway. And moreover, there is no reason for you to hide your sexuality. For gay people, especially in crapholes, your sexuality could literally kill you, cost you your job and livelihood, and lose you so many people you thought were your friends and family. You risk nothing when people find out you have a boyfriend. I risk a lot if I slip and say 'my girlfriend'. So that's why it doesn't matter to you and matters a great deal to me.

I can't imagine a situation where I would go and say 'btw I'm gay' to my employer. But once I see someone every day, care for and love their children five days a week, and we end up having a close relationship, it seems like I'm lying every time I have to weasel my way around telling them what I did on the weekend, or relaying stories from the past and what else have you. It's very hard to completely erase something that is who you are. Imagine for a second that you have to never mention your boyfriend of husband again, and make sure no one finds out you have one? It gets tiring, and you feel like a liar.

And I am neither new to the gay community nor am I young, but the the constant lying to a woman who's become a friend has got to me. And this is what I was asking about, in this job you do make friends with your employers (or you don't, to each their own), and I was wondering how other nannies dealt with that.[/quote]
