I went on a cruise with my family recently, and strangely enough, while on board I kept getting Sir-ed right and left. (I'm only occasionally Sir-ed at home.) The only difference I could figure out is that most of the crew seemed to be from the South Pacific. Maybe it's a cultural difference in perception? I dunno. It would have been great, except I'm not out to my family yet, so it was a little awkward. My mom's only comment was, "See, I told you your hair was too short." I came very close to saying, "Yes, that's the point." But, I felt it wasn't the right time. I've got a wedding to get through week after next, and then I'll be out of excuses not to come out.
