Seeking clarification. As we diversify talent (and I’m glad we finally are!), I understand that includes efforts to hire people with different gender identities and different sexual preferences. Great. So my question regards hiring someone gay. How gay do they have to be… please, a legit curiosity: what if they are closeted, would that not count because no one knew?

Jesus where do you work? Need to know to avoid. If they are closeted how would you know they’re gay enough to satisfy the quota? I’m a full gay. Not one of them bitsy gays. So I would definitely count. And I could use my ful-blown gayness to surely give you some solid gay person thinking to help round out all those pesky straight person ideas you keep getting. What about slightly obese people? Have you considered that too? But how obese you might ask? I think a BMI index of 31 is a good place to start. That way you get the full fats and not the halfsies

That’s what I believe too. But for many agencies it’s a statistic they broadcast. And then, how can you serve up an accurate stat in this case where, as Michael Stipe once enlightened us, there isn’t always a clear line delineating straight from gay.

Are they qualified for the job? I don't see how that should matter if they're "visibly gay" we come in all flavors. People's right to disclose is up to them.

Brilliant!

This is a good example of how misguided DIE can be. There are so many ways to be diverse and we’re worrying about one that is basically undetectable, unprovable, and most like unrelated to job performance.
