[personal profile] stormdog
In my Spanish class today, I used the word novio instead of novia when I talked about visiting my girlfriend on the weekends. I realized I'd said boyfriend instead of girlfriend later on and was mildly embarrassed just 'cause I used the wrong word. My profesora saw me later in the gallery where I'm working as an attendant and asked me if I was gay.

Knowing why she was asking, and since the answer to that is a little complicated, I said no and she said that she's supportive either way and wanted to make sure I used the right word.

Since it's important to me to be open, being in a position where I can be, I just wrote her an email explaining that, while I'm not gay, and I actually did use the wrong word when talking about my girlfriend, I am bi and since she asked I wanted to answer more completely and explain why doing so is important to me. I also told her I wasn't offended by her asking and that I'm looking forward to her class next semester.

I don't think that was a bad thing to do. But it felt like an important thing to do. These things are sometimes sensitive issues; I hope my email doesn't cause any problems. It doesn't seem like it ought to, but I get a little anxious.
