Falling Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I guess I just don't understand how it matters. Unless they are specifically shouting from the sky they are LGBTQ then isn't is already an equal playing field where the best person gets the job? In order to provide hiring equality you would have to ask people their sexual orientation. Pretty sure that's discriminatory. Unless it is mentioned in their personal statement. I'm not sure if a STEM grad would mention it, but I can see sexual orientation (or gender identification) playing a strong motivating role in why someone would want to do research in areas of social science/humanities.

Falling Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 btw, does the Q in LGBTQ refer to being Queer? If so, isn't that already covered the G (Gay)? What is the difference between being Queer and Gay? It does refer to Queer. Apparently there are a few other groups that I missed like Asexual. I'm not sure what the distinction is between Queer and Gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruhh Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think the Q is for "Questioning" - someone who is questioning their sexuality, I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I almost want it to pass. I think if it fails to pass we will have a big 3 month strike. I'd rather get back to school than have to deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather get back to school than have to deal with that. I really don't see that happening. Not with the pan scam games coming and $$$ from summer courses. York stands to be an eye sore and lose out on substantial cash from summer courses. I could be wrong but I just don't see it this time around. Last time was different as it started in November and they were ordered back to work end of Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolelol Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Now speaking of red-line issues, what is this LGBT equality crap? Is there language in any documentation that specifically excludes someone who is LGBT? Is there language that only applies to heterosexuals? I can't tell if you're kidding, do you realize how ape **** people go over LGBT people? The bartender at the place I was yesterday was trans ( I think) and you shoulda seen what people were saying about her.. like a monkey at the zoo sigh Here's a better question, if it's so arbitrary why doesn't york just add LGBT to their equity policy?
