Stealth lesbian: not what you expected.

Janice Vassar,

I often get comments like “You don’t look lesbian/gay”. My response is that I’m a “stealth lesbian”. People assume that I’m heterosexual. I make it a point to be very out at work. The thing about coming out is that it is endless; I have to come out to people all the time. It’s important that I come out because LBGTQ people come in all shapes, sizes, colors and gender expressions.
