he was called brave and then everyone clapped

I think being a straight white Male just makes me undesirable in a place like Toronto.

Truly the most oppressed demographic

Then he gets asked to invite his boyfriend to the company holiday party, finds a fake boyfriend, falls in love through some hijinks, and lives happily ever after.

If this was somehow real theyre still going to find out hes a straight white male victim guy in like a day tops

Honestly they were probably relieved that they could safely lowball him instead of paying the non-political rate.

Dude is gay as hell. Admitting that you're gay is one the gayest things you can do.

I said I voted for hillary in job and they gave it to me for supporting democracy. 🥹

The level of rage bait on reddit is exactly as bad as Facebook but redditors also simultaneously consider themselves the smartest people in the room and literally superior to people who use other apps.

The other day there was a post about how somebody loved their daily ritual of earing a bunch of bacon with a coworker at their desk everyday but then they got a new hire who was a black women and also probablly a muslim who complained about it and everybody in thenoffice agreed she was an annoying buzzkill.

Not one single comment pointing out it was a victim fantasy of a 14 year old boy.

"I think being a straight white male makes me undesirable in a place that has over a million straight white males and used to be 45% straight white males"

That interviewer's name? Gay Albert Einstein

Assuming it's real, I don't see the problem, that's just hustler grindset mentality. If the job market wants gay, then give them gay, libs and chuds are always saying you have to adapt

the lathe of heaven turns as God cackles, a fate string spins off wildly towards the OP, striking him in his loins, he needs to suck cock now. What is this hunger? This isn't how it was supposed to go!!

So awesome how I am afraid to come out to all of my coworkers and friends and family as pan and agender but these fuckhead straight Redditors think it's hilarious to pretend to be queer. Must be nice.

I mean obviously a shitty thing to do and I think they've likely exaggerated bits of this due to their own personal bias of gay people being treated better, but certain institutions do have diversity standards, that if managed, help them to get public and private funding. 'Ethical' business practice is hot right now for big investors. It really throws democrat-adjacent liberals off your scent.

It also depends on the industry. My industry may be a bubble in this respect, but having a 'protected characteristic' can be advantageous in some respects. I often see jobs with schemes that openly guarantee an interview to such candidates, based off their protected characteristic alone. Of course, I can see the reasoning, and they'll still face other prejudice in the workplace, but it can be easily abused by people who are inclined to do so, especially in regards to the unprovable claim of non-heterosexuality. I've seen a lot of people make very tenuous claims to queerness (I know, I know, you can't tell someone what they are and aren't... I've HAD queer experiences and pondered my own claim to such a label) to assist in landing a job.

I'm not saying such hiring practices shouldn't be in place, although they perhaps are a liberal band aid. I just think they can be abused easily (though abuse of it is probably not commonplace)... that said given it's a Redditor I am inclined not to believe his experience of it.

The interviewer probably just happened to be queer themselves and liked the common ground lmao

when I started using a new name for job applications, i had not had a call back in close to a year of job searching haha yes

i eventually gave up looking for specialised work and got a job as a cleaner, through a friend

homophobic dork doesnt think he's good enough for a job

heads up: this only works in June.

Feels potentially real to me, corporations love performative allyship, just look at the attempted cooption of pride. I could absolutely see a company prioritising queer hires (in certain industries.)
