Is it appropriate to ask an openly bisexual co-worker whether they prefer men or women?
It is generally considered unduly personal to ask questions about one’s sexual partners in the workplace, regardless of sexual orientation. It would be inappropriate to ask a straight co-worker “who are your sexual partners?” Some work relationships will support an interest in a co-worker’s partner, particularly if a partner is not feeling well. Generally, however, an undue interest in a co-worker’s romantic partners is inappropriate.
