Coming out at work
1983
Regarding coming out at work Barbara said “On the work front, it’s not our
mission in life to say ‘I’m gay’ but equally if the issue crops up I’ve
never lied about it, and people do know, and it’s quite liberal. In the
early stages I would have been more reticent, though when I first
qualified in 1983 I did tell my employer Brendon Flemming because I
didn't want to work for someone and not know that." Now in the work
sphere everyone treats them as partners. Bridget said “It’s their
problem not mine!”
