Do I tell my colleagues?

[Mowbray]

Hello,

I am gay and i have told some of my colleagues (whom i can trust) however i've just moved to another dept' working with the biggest gossips ever. I am not ashamed of being gay, but i don't want other people talking behind my back about it.

today my colleagues asked what my partner was called and i just changed the subject as i didn't know what to say.

i thought i shouldn't lie as they may already know and i think they're just trying to put me on the 'spot' as they're not very nice women as they talk about everyone.

Should i tell them the truth?

Hello guys,
Just to let you all know that I have told my colleagues that I am gay. I didn't just 'say' it i just started to mention my partners name rather than refering to her as being 'partner'.

The thing is i know they've told others as people are looking at me that little bit differently. You see i am not the stereotypical gay woman. i am very feminine and most guys eye me up. i am not boasting or nothing.

i am proud of what i am but i am not sure whether telling people at work is the right thing.
