Has anyone been notcing LGBT discrimination in the workplace? My company does a very good job avoiding such discrimination, but one of my cousins was just fired basically for being gay. I think part of it is just unprevantable - if you get enough people who dislike gays, they will call someone out on every minor mistake they make. And we all make mistakes...

Can't say that I do, but then, I don't really know if anyone is gay here. No one I know is really in-your-face about it.
I thought discrimination is when you alienate people who do have rights?

That kind of stuff is pretty Fucked up.
I have read about people being fired for being wiccan as well.
Anything that doesn't fit into what a 51 percent margin of people deem conventional customs or lifestyle choices is singled out and harassed.
Like the kid who wore glasses in school, but on a much deeper darker level.
It is a shame that we call ourselves modern yet we are still held back by such backwater thoughts and ideas.

Keep sexuality out of the work place. In fact, I don't really care, untill its THAT guy bothering me. Then I care about it. We go for a short walk to the local harbor to talk things over. I leave, he stays at the bottom of the New York bay. See?

No discrimination in my field of work. I don't think anyone cares.
I've met quite a few gay security guards. I remember one who made a habit of reminding me that he liked guys. I was afraid that he was trying to imply something so I avoided him until he was fired (for being an idiot who broke rules).

I honestly don't want to KNOW.
Don't ask don't tell actually does make sense at times.

Homosexuality in the workplace is gay.
EDIT:
Funny you mention that... I have two working for me.

I have two acquaintances who are gay who work somewhere else. I don't think there's any discrimination at their jobs, per se, but one works with people outside the office, and one doesn't.
The one that doesn't can afford to be a bit more flamboyant, while the one who makes business calls is pretty reserved. He doesn't hide it, but he won't mention it or make it obvious in any way.

Either you think homosexuality is acceptable in your society or it's not. If someone being openly gay in your workplace is an issue for you in any way, then you don't believe in homosexuality being ok in your society. You are homophobic. Period.
I don't care if you find the thought of two guys kissing disgusting. Maybe you should try to not find it disgusting and try to show some empathy for once.

I live and work in San Francisco so maybe I'm not qualified to comment hahahaha

That having been said, I am gay, and the most discrimination I faced in terms of employment was actually from clients. I used to be a stylist and my manager complimented me on my ability to put people at ease, despite being obviously gay in a conservative town (lived somewhere else at the time) and people sometimes being initially uncomfortable sitting down in my chair. Fortunately I'm a charmer, so most of the time it was perfectly fine. But on more than one occasion some big macho douche would request someone else to do their haircut, to which I would brightly smile and gladly transfer their service over to someone else - joke's on them, because I did the best clipper fade :B

I think homosexuality is hated due to the fact/idea (I'm not sure which one it is) that same sex couples can't reproduce offspring and since society values the idea of giving birth to new life to carry on from where previous lives left, well, it's kinda written on the wall, isn't it.

This is ridiculous in so many ways, the first of which is that you are not aware that it is fact that a same sex couple can't reproduce with each other. Wow

I agree, but people please. If you want to deal with sexuality, do it outside of the workplace. It ruins the atmosphere otherwise.

Yeah yeah, don't talk sex, drugs, politics in professional settings. Some people can't help but be obviously gay though. If nobody ever SAYS to you "I'm gay! I have a boyfriend!" but you can still pretty much tell that they're gay, does that still bother you?

Not really, I only have problems when gay people try coming onto me, and when they talk extensively about thier love life. Hell, I have that problem with straight people as well. What I was trying to get at was that all things within moderation. After all, who really wants to hear if so and so is gay and if terry in accounting just slept with three chicks? Not my cup of tea, mind you.

I look forward to the day when being gay or not is simply additional info.
I have brown hair, am gay, am 5'11 and 160 pounds. Raised Catholic, am a democrat. These are all just facts.
No one should hate me for having size 11 shoes.
It is only pushed by our community because it is not seen as a simple fact.
One day it will be, until then, people are going to hear about it, until it becomes no more shocking than someone being black or wearing glasses.
I will, obviously agree, that having one's sex life shoved into your face isn't a fun experience by straights or otherwise.

It will always be a "thing" as long as we refer to people as "being gay", or even things like "he's black" or "she's blonde" or "he's christian".
That kind of talk usually makes it sound like that's the one thing you need to know about a person. Those kinds of descriptives have to be removed from a more personal context, and but back as merely adjectives. "he HAS black skin" "She HAS blonde hair" "He IS A Christian"
Maybe I'm off the mark here, but that's my opinion on the matter.
