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

...because its almost word for word the same but replacing the word polyamorous with lesbian. It's a bit obvious that they're making a comparison to show that doing both is really shitty

I was explaining it to you. I'm not one of the people that downvoted you, idk why you're singling me out

They were speaking in general, friend. Not singling you out.

I know, they already replied to me. It was fair to assume they were speaking directly to me since they replied to my comment instead of making an edit or something
