    Yesterday at work (I work at a bookstore) my coworkers and I were doing a count as to how many LGBT people work at our store. the tally was as such:

    1 lesbian (Me, I'm not out as GQ/Trans)
    3 bisexuals
    6 gay guys

    out of 100 staff I think thats pretty decent.

    Well, it is a sizeable sample of the population, so it should turn out that way.

    True, but a bookstore at first glance seems like it would be a skewed sampling.

    100 staff? That must be a huge bookstore. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm going to have to start visiting bookstores more often now. ^_^

    Actually =p a friend of mine said he goes to Chapters (a bookstore) and looks at this cute guy there who works there, but he pretends to read XD I wish the worker was still there, but sadly this was years ago, he says : (

    The Sam Goody/FYE I work at is like 50% populated by gay guys. My store boss and the deputy boss are both gay as well.

    The store boss is a complete cunt though. So no, it's not "awesome".

    Rest of the store is fine though.

    Only 1 lesbian out of 100 bookstore employees? I think that some of your coworkers are closeted.

    One of the bisexuals is a girl, and I know a lot of the "straight" female employees like to watch the L word, so I can hope!

    Damn and here I am, living two bus rides away from the closest bookstore. If I lived closer I would be there every day :icon_bigg
