Good, good good. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Wearing your rings out and being very simply honest about yourself shouldn't be considered 'egging them on'. It's their homophobia, not your honesty, that causes the problem.

I am so proud that you approached your leadership. And doubly proud that she was receptive and supportive.
I say wear the rings. It's honestly no different than someone wearing a crucifix or some other symbol. You have that right. They are unobtrusive. And, I would hasten to say that most "breeders" don't know exactly what the rings are for. Some do, but the majority don't. Of course, in your situation they may all know what they are, since you've been the topic of gossip and discussion. I'm so proud of you!!! I give you "mad props" for this. I've never had to deal with a hostile workplace like you have, and I've pretty much always been out in the open about my bi-sexuality, so I am not personally acquainted with the struggle you've recently endured. But I am quite happy that you have come to the decision to be open about it, and feel that it may change the situation. If anything, it might simply remove any fuel for their fire. And that would work out for the best, I feel.

^_^ Thank you for the strength you've given me. If this were another time in my life, I would have just tried to bear it, but, perhaps unknowingly, you give me the strength to hold my ground.
glad to hear your supervisor was understanding and realizes that it's inappropriate. wearing your rings visibly is not antagonistic at all, what would be antagonistic would be to...well, nevermind *clears throat*. i hope all goes well for you. ^^
