With the options being gay/homosexual, bisexual, lesbian and hetrosexual, or I'd rather not say, I doubt I read it wrong

Was it not the equal opportunities part of the form? Most applications include that sort of thing now?

Yup. I always wonder why they ask though, I mean, if it doesnt make a difference, why do they need to know

Same with them asking for your race/religion

You don't have to give that information, just like you don't have to say what your ethnic origin is.

Hey that could be a way in...
if they are under represented by a minority group say you are one...
You may get an interview if you say you're a buddist transgendered dwarf new age traveller with dyslexia?...It's worth a shot haha!

A lot of jobs actually do.

Every job I have applied for asks that question... I didn't think it was anything new.

That's mad isn't it. Especially as you're not allowed to ask a woman if she plans on having a family.
