Why do job applications ask...

[LukeB]

about your sexual orientation?

why do they want to know if you are gay/straight/bisexual

[andybigbro]

I think it's something to do with equality. To show they don't discriminate.

Or they just want a nosey :tongue:

Put in Plantkin and act like it for a few weeks and then reveal that it was all a joke

I've never had a sexuality question on a job application. :suspect:

Surely the best way to show they don't discriminate would be to not ask the question at all? :laugh:

Some are not even allowed to ask for date of birth anymore to stop them being ageist. :laugh:

It's weird, some applications ask it, others don't.

I think it's just them being nosey tbh.

I never like filling in the sexuality bit. Who cares if you're gay, straight, bi etc.. it has no bearing on how you work. :laugh:

Tom is thirsty for me. :worry:

[Natalie.]

might want to date you

[Jessica.]

might want to date you

:amazed: What a positive outlook you have on it.

[AnnieK]

It's to do with equal ops monitoring. You don't have to answer it and they are not allowed by law to discriminate because of the answer you give but for equality and diversity a lot of bigger companies will ask that and ethnic origin but have to have a "prefer not to say" option

[Mitchell]

I always answer truthfully, maybe that's where I'm going wrong :joker:

Yeah.... And give the rest of us more room it's cramped in here. I've got LeatherTrumpet's elbow in my ribs. :hehe:

Why not? Surely in building it only matters that you're good with erections?

If they have a question like that on an application always answer it and consider lying if you aren't gay/bi. It may help your application.
