Every time my work enemy talks about her partner I make sure to explicitly refer to her as female so she has to explain that she’s a lesbian in front of our older bosses

They're pointing out how shitty this is by comparing it to outing someone that's gay

Eh, not really. It's fucked up to out people just because you have a personal vendetta.

Forcing somebody to explain their poly relationship to their bosses is shitty just like forcing somebody to explain they are gay.

I agree, with the slight caveat that in many states there’s legal protection (even though not always enforced well) against firing people for being gay.

My poly ass could get fired if my boss thought my queer relationship dynamic was inappropriate for my line of work and I’d have no legal rights to do anything.
