Ok, so the study actually tells us nothing about whether actual gay people are being discriminated against in employment as corporate executives. Instead, it tells us whether millenial Italians who have never had to think about employing a corporate executive, think that random gay people off the street fit their perception of who would make a good CEO.
I guess if you were going to do a first-pass to even see if people could be discriminated against for "sounding gay" it wouldn't be so bad but extrapolating any further than that seems like a big stretch.
