Default Why do job applications ask...

about your sexual orientation?

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

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

Or they just want a nosey

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

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

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.

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