You can handle this in one of two ways (or two of two, if you wish).
First, you can threaten to file or actually file an EEOC complaint based on sexual orientation discrimination. Even if it is intended as a joke, why would it be funny? It's not, but why would this person think it's funny? Sounds like sexual orientation discrimination to me.
The EEOC is a federal agency tasked with searching allegations of discrimination. This can assist in finding the evidence you ne
How Gay Men Navigate the Corporate World
Recent sociology study at the University of Cincinnati looked closely at the various strategies homosexual men use to operate both their gendered and sexual identities in the workplace.
Travis Dean Speice, a new sociology doctoral graduate at the University of Cincinnati, says his investigate indicates that gay men often feel they hold to change certain unique gestures and body language behaviors in order to avoid potential negative consequences from co-workers.
In his analyze, Speice conducted in-depth interviews of men between the ages of who recognize as gay, analyzing their thoughts on masculinity, femininity, gayness, how they came out and their specific job descriptions, which he says is where a lot of conscious deception of identity management happens.
"Although there is no tough, fast rule for general masculinity, there are lots of anxieties related to identity management and self presentation for gay men in many professional settings, says Speice. From the initial interview to moving up the ladder at work, if a homosexual man feels
The Tim Sackett Project
Michael Sam&#;s announcement last week, becoming the first openly homosexual NFL player, rekindled some hot workplace topics. His acknowledgement has talk shows buzzing about whether NFL players would be easy with a gay teammate in the locker room. I think most people concentrated on one area of the locker room, the showers. Would male NFL players be easy showering with a teammate who was homosexual? So far, no NFL players have said they would not be.
I wonder what most HR professionals would tell an employee who did come to you and said &#;I don&#;t want to work with Tim, he&#;s gay, and I don&#;t agree with it.&#;
I&#;m assuming % of HR Pros would come up with something like this:
&#;You know Mr. Employee, we are an inclusive and diverse organization, and that means we support all of our employees and don&#;t decide them based on things like sexual orientation, religion, etc. If you touch uncomfortable working with Tim, maybe this isn&#;t the place for you to work.&#;
Seems about right, right?
Let&#;s add some real-life to this scen
The corner closet: Why there are so few gay and gender nonconforming executives in corporate America
After graduating from Stanford University in , Jeff Gennette joined the executive training program at Macy’s. He says public disapproval of homosexuality made many in the lgbtq+ community wary of identifying themselves at work, especially during the AIDS/HIV crisis. Not Gennette, even after he was warned that his openness about his sexual orientation could hamper his career.
“It was a scary time to come out and be who you are,” he said. “Not seeing other gay people who were above me in rank, I knew it could potentially grip back my career. But I didn’t find that at Macy’s.”
Gennette got his start in the Macy’s men’s department on the Stanford campus. He became president of the nation’s largest department store chain in and its CEO in , clearing a path through a minefield of existential threats in the retail world – online rivals, discount chains, fast fashion and the COVID pandemic.
Still, it took decades for change at the uppermost. Gennette says the corner closet nudged open in when Apple’s
