Jobs versus Gays

Fortunately I had the good fortune to spend in many companies of our country, and work with many different people ...

But perhaps there are more men, the subject of homosexuality is often discussed, the "paneleiragem" as they say, sometimes in conversations of pure relaxation or provocation or, as witnessed this week in conversations a little more serious .. . The subject "paneleiragem" is in most cases treated with obvious discrimination and disapproval ... That this conversation we saw this week, a lunch, commented the fact that a coworker have felt the need to justify responding to a provocative email sent to everyone, from the then head of the site, which hinted the like " ; man with cat ...". Well, what interests me highlight now is that many people still think it does not work with a gay, think Clearly that "paneleiragem" only works in firms other than them ... The hearing of these conversations, it is clear that a willingness to say "YES! Yes, I'm gay, then? "And wait for reactions annoyed and embarrassment that would almost certainly arise ... After all we live in society, and where a person is always the chance of her being gay / lesbian. Must therefore have been the notion that the person who read us every day, and who might appreciate many qualities, may be gay ... And without wanting to, or perhaps not, we discriminate against it, even unconsciously ...
