I’m in the process of applying to other jobs, and I’m noticing a lot of them added sexual orientation to their diversity questions. How do y’all feel about that? I feel it’s a catch 22 for me. On one hand, I’m scared of being discriminated against as I deal with enough of that as a BIPOC individual. On the other hand, it feels icky to be a diversity pick so companies can include me in their data to avoid being sued.

I’ve just seen this recently and it did made me pause… like yeah I get it they may want to know for statistics purposes but I generally did not like it being part of the application process.

I'm not worried about it. I generally trust that big corporations block hiring manager access to that data, so I don't see it as harming or helping my candidacy. I'm more concerned about discrimination due to the contents of my resume due to volunteering and ERG leadership.

What about if their data gets compromised?

It’s a valid question, but but we’re likely already compromised. Facebook, Instagram, and google probably know before someone has even figured it out on their own.

I would not feel compelled to out myself on any other terms than my own.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY.

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

How’s it like being gay in Singapore?

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant.

Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
