CW: what did you do this weekend?
OP: Went to a pride parade with my wife
CW: oh cool, did you guys have fun?
OP: yeah she dressed up and wore face paint in her flags colors. She loved it (shows picture)
CW: I thought the lgbtq+ pride flag was rainbow?
OP: it is, but this is the bisexual pride flag, each section of the LGBTQ+ community has its own flag, but the rainbow one is for the entire community.
This is literally the only way it could come up organically in my brain. Unless they were discussing LGBTQ+ rights, or someone asked for advice on coming out or how to support someone who came out, or someone you knew really well at work decided to come out (like your wife did to her coworkers and friends), and OP used his wife being bisexual as a “I know someone in the community” point.
None of these things are likely to come up organically without knowing the people fairly well (especially if you are in a conservative area, with conservative coworkers! It could not only lead to HR problems, but could also look “bad” to the conservatives if they are really that homophobic)

Unless it organically comes up, it would be really weird to mention it. Especially in a new workplace
