Why do they ask this. Ive had uni lecturers too try and pry it out of me which is bang out of order and when i leave I may be putting in a complaint. I hate the equal opportunities part of job applications it just really gets me miffed. Of course they use it in the process, Im not stupid enough to believe that its set aside from the application form in the decision making. I didnt come down in the last shower to know that is all lies.
The reason is, along with many other men who have relationships with men, who hate the negative connotations of labelling themselves gay and never ever do thats why the term MSM came in and is I find much more fitting.
I work with children and have just applied for a job working with children for an organisation. Ive worked with children for almost a year now and even in 2015 its a big deal for some people. Just yesterday someone said "who is that, does he work here. What seriously? A male, thats not seen much, its for girls to do" People judge males working with children, especially gay males. Its the sad truth, ive had so much upset and felt crap about myself because of the comments made against me, and thats just being a male. So I definitely didnt want to label myself as a gay male, that would definitely not get me the job as we ALL know gay males and children shouldnt be in the same room as one another (whateverrrrr is now my response to comments like that). I just feel they will think i behave in one way, when I really dont. Its human nature we all know the stereotypes.
Being gay has nothing to do with the way I am professionally and work it just annoys me so much. People may say I am wrong to not declare it but its down to me how I label myself not anyone else. Its not part of the decision making process anyway so they say. I just wish they would not ask such personal questions. Should i refuse to answer next time instead of basically lying?
Put the internet to work for you.
