I'm pretty sure some of my employees think I'm a closet homo...

Every single focking time they come to my office to ask me something it's a bunch of shirtless dude's avatars on my screen. And when I try to change tabs it's more sus and accidentally hover over the top menu and the drop-down is even bigger pictures of extra oily muscle black guys. They must think I'm on a gay dating website all the time.

One asked me directly what site I was on and try to explain that it was a bodybuilding forum and he hit me with the "ohh you lift weights?" BRUTAL

Thank god I make my gf bring me lunch some days and I make sure they see her. LMAO

Can yall put some big botty latinas as you avi's to damage control lulz.

Probably just going to think i"m bi. brb going to home depot to buy some rope.

You seem preoccupied by what other people think. As long as you cover the basic social expectations, how you live your life will have to be their problem.

I think it's generally hard for people to talk about activities they don't do, so when your employee asked if you lifted, he was simply expressing interest in you as a person. It would be hard for him, or anyone, to connect to you if you become defensive and don't take things lightly in what is probably an anxious social situation for them.
