    Author Notes:

    Tina plans to come out at the Alphaville party. This is the Bette and Tina before their first breakup….

    —————————————–

    Your wife seems very nice, a woman said quietly to Tina.  She was Missy something and was assigned to another division, but she and Tina had worked together occasionally.

     

    I thought you were gay, but didnt say anything, she said kindly.  Most people here know Im gay and I havent had much trouble with it.

     

    Did your gaydar spot me?  Tina smiled and Missy grinned.

     

    Actually, Missy said, I thought you were gay and then I saw you and Bette at Milk one night and I knew for sure.

     

    And you didnt come over to say hello?  Tina asked.

     

    Well, it was clear that you were closeted at work, so I thought I would leave it that way.

     

    Well, my gaydar isnt too good, so I hadnt spotted you at work.  Bette says Im hopeless, because she can usually instantly identify someone who is gay. 

     

    Some of the people who may be jealous of you might say some derogatory things.  But its usually just with their associates and I have never seen it be a problem with my job.  If you ever want to talk, Im on the third floor–328.

    ———————————–

     

    What do you think? Asked one of Tinas lunch friends who was at the party.

     

    Im getting used to it, responded another lunch friend

     

    Well, thats why they didnt hook up with surfer guys in Hawaii.

     

    Did you suspect?

     

    Actuallyno.

     

    What do you think?

     

    Theyre a beautiful couple and they seem very happy and comfortable with each other.

     

    The kind of ease that happy lovers have.

     

    Exactly.  Thats right.  Exactly.

    ——————————————-

     

    The second half of the evening went much like that with someone coming up and acknowledging to Tina, in some indirect way, that they know shes gay.  Their intention was to chat sociably and treat it as not a big deal.  Most, she thought, were sincere.  But some appeared to be just trying to position themselves as open-minded.

    ..

     

    Lets go, said Tina.

     

    You dont need to stay longer?

     

    Nah.  Ive schmoozed with everyone I needed to.  Besides, this will free up everybody to talk about us unfettered.  They can get much of it out of their systems so they dont have to talk too much about it on Monday.

    2. I really like seeing how Bette and Tina dealt with t’s coming out. I think you really nailed the estrangement that can happen when one person lives in fear of being found out and so closets the relationship. Nicely done – you write the humor and the connection of love so well. Such an antidote to the negativity of the show. Good to see you on TWOP as well. Thanks for contributing such a wonderful story to the fan fic world.

    4. Wow, Jan had some balls asking Bette if she would be interested in sleeping with her knowing about Tina. I can only imagine Bette’s reaction if it was Tina that had been propositioned. And about the ‘Boys signing T.O. This is exactly why JT NEEDS TO buy the Dallas Cowboys, to prevent bonehead moves like this!

    5. Lemme see if I can clarify what I meant before. I know that this B&T is the same from your previous story. What I meant was that I thought we were getting a flashback prior to the breakup in “What is Love?” Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that. ANYWAY at least the coming out is over. There will always be jerks who will make comments either to a person’s face or just around friends (I’ve done that and BOY did karma bite me in the butt lol). But there will also be people who won’t care and those are the people Tina definitely needs to be around at this time.

    7. Very well written, great job Pancha. Bette Porter as a trophy wife LOL, I think that they are each others trophies. The way her host talked, it shouldn’t effect her impending promotion, but I think that there might be a little jealousy amoung some of her colleages. Love this story, please continue :o)

    8. love the party… and i also agree tina will get all her promotions that are due her… and the trpphy wife was priceless… and we all know ay least one guy who was like that guy… they think they are gods gift to all women… love yor story… please continue

    14. I know that was very hard for Tina. Society sure make life very difficult. As Shane said soon it will be old news. But when you have Bette as a wife it will always be hard for it to be old news. Thank you for the story.

    15. Pancha, as always you never cease to amaze. You really did a great job with the fear Tina was having about coming out and Bette’s disappointment about being “hidden” from Tina’s professional life. The “coming out ball” was fantastic. Especially, Tina’s experience with the Oh-you-have-to-be-gay-to-say-no idiot. LOL. And Bette’s experience with the experimenting Jan. Love the gang’s coming out party. And by the way, Bette’s closing remark was right on the money. LOL. Thanks for the update.

    17. Way to step lightly Bette. Pancha, you make the world of L a better place to be. Thank you for still writing during an uninspiring S3. I hope you’ll post again soon. Now I’m off to take some tranquilizers before I watch tonight’s episode.

    18. OMG! I have been to these parties! Studio executives and all. HA! Thank you so much for putting all the different dynamics that really do go on into your story! Really well written! Please post again soon!

    21. In a creepy kind of way, I liked your sad ending more for Bette and Tina than IC’s, you’re right, it did make more sense, it explained so many things but in the end I’m a huge T&B fan so…. anyway, I’m liking this story and the way it’s been told.

    22. Thanks for the post pancha. What a treat to read about a happy B&T tonight. Glad your Tina isn’t getting a ton of poo dumped on her every week.

    23. they did it! i like how they deal with the coming out, this was easy for their cause Bette is such a sweet and inteligent woman and she is a big support for Tina. I enjoy read this i was waiting this chapter. thanks take care

    24. I figured Mrs Brovey for the one who would put the makes on Bette…could make the work situation sticky for Tina! Thanks for posting. I needed this!

    25. We all need a trophy wife like Bette.Some people don’t care other will try to let it pass over their heads Some will be a&&es. The men will say to them self she just never had a real man like me Thanks.hope you didn’t get rained out. We got about 7-8 inches thanks
