Amazing

Jul 7, 2021 | 2016 Spring - Out at Work (or Not)

By Flash Gorski

I was NOT out at work. People only knew I’d been married to a man.

One day, three female colleagues were leafing through a Vogue magazine. They stopped at a picture of a drop-dead gorgeous woman in a ball gown.

“Wow,” they said. “Look! So incredibly beautiful!”

“Yes,” I sighed, looking over their shoulders. “She’s amazing.”

They turned and stared at me. One said, “We were talking about the dress, Maryann.”

Forgetting where I was, I blurted out, “Oh, come on, tell me you wouldn’t hit that if you had a chance!”

Turns out they wouldn’t.
