- smoldesu 5y agoThinking different these days is punishable by joblessness.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoBeing different has long been punishable by joblessness. Women, people of color and the LGBTQ crowd all see their income suffer merely because they are different. The LGBTQ crowd experiences high rates of unemployment because of it and women seem to manage to stay off the street often be sleeping with some guy who can afford to pay the rent, basically. Edit: I blog about homelessness. The LGBTQ crowd sees high rates of homelessness. Homeless people die on average something like two decades younger than housed people. Do with that info what you want. I see it as not a good thing.
- smoldesu 5y agoI am part of the LGBTQ crowd, and I gotta say I haven't heard of anyone I know getting fired because of their sexuality before. On the contrary, (my N+1 anecdata) I actually was introduced to a former employer at a gay bar.

- filleduchaos 5y agoWhere do you live? Actually that's a rhetorical question, especially considering that > at a gay bar already says enough.
- mercer 5y agowhat do you mean with 'says enough'?
- filleduchaos 5y agoThe prevalence of gay bars and the prevalence of employment where being queer can get you fired are rather inversely correlated.
- true_religion 5y agoI am in crowed as well, and I saw a colleague harassed because they were trans and upper management worried that a conservative client we were selling to wouldn’t like them as the face of the product. They weren’t immediately fired, their role was just continually reminisced each time we had to interact with this client until it became obvious that the choice was to either utterly hide their transgender status (hard to do if you are in the middle of the transition) or be relegated to worse and worse work until they quit.
- corinroyal 5y agoWas homeless and a homeless activist while LGBT. Can confirm.
- prepend 5y agoJobslessness is what led them to punishing thinking different.
