take offense that they think they can reduce human sexuality to a “gay/not gay” yes or no question. These people must still be living in 2012.

I agree, I like men but not gay.

But by their definition I must put gay.

Check yes. How can they ever question it or prove you're not? If it gives you a leg up then do it. Gay means "happy" anyways.

Check "Yes". If you get called on it, just say you are gender fluid and identified as gay when you filled out the application. You identify as straight now.

That does not seem like something you should ask, nor should it matter. Weird.

Just put yes and if they challenge say you thought it meant happy.

Tell em you're pansexual and attach a photo of you hugging up to a #10 Lodge skillet.

Put that you're gay, it's not like someone is going to try and frick you to find out.

Well at least I don't think they will.

Personally, I never pass up an opportunity exert my straight white male privilege.

But that’s on job applications for employers who actually care about competence and making money. Not school whose main priority is trying to prove to they world how much they love women, minorities and homos.

Isn’t asking this question on a job interview illegal?


If you are asking to not hire the gay person, then it's illegal. If you're asking because you want a gay person, then it's perfectly acceptable.

What if the interview puts a $20 on the desk? How gay then?
