    You’d be pretty surprised what conversational topics would reveal one’s implied sexuality that no one would probably push back against, because it’s “normal.” For instance, I recall straight people announcing at my work that they’d been trying for a kid or their partner was pregnant. :|

      Inferring something from a conversation is way different than someone advertising it. It’s also way different in a social setting with co-workers versus the office, which in this context, it seems like it was an office communication.

        It’s weird how you’re moving goalposts in an analogy you created that misrepresented the situation anyway.

        Some people clearly don’t see a difference between mentioning a part of a relationship and just stating what their sexuality is. One is appropriate in a much broader spectrum of settings than the other, regardless of what the sexuality of the person in question is, and I feel like people who don’t understand, or refuse to, are likely to be obnoxious to be around in general.
