No one needs to know you're gay gray :( it's not good to be open about stuff like that, you should learn that. You just need to keep asking around for a job too and not give up I was so lucky to have found mine just keep applying different places and I'm sure you'll get one *hugs*

*hugs back* i don't tell everyone i'm gay, the only reasons the employers find out is because they ask about it in all the applications

I've been really lucky to work alongside openly gay workers so I never did have that problem.

Nonetheless I have a tip for you,

Don't ever reveal your sexual desires on the job unless you know the people you work with welcome gay workers to the job. Don't put yourself in a hole where you never will get a job.

I don't know what apps you are filling out but if any of them ask your sexuality you shouldn't work for the company anyway. The only reason my job at Macy's didn't work out was because I couldn't keep up and the human resources people put me in a spot to speed up when I knew in my heart a tight space is only asking for trouble.

Now I have to hope this other job upcoming in recovery at Macy's fits me better with the hours I want.

You really have to be a robot almost in a job because they'll find anything to let you go if you don't meet up to their standards.

If they ask you about your sexuality you should just get up and leave because you won't get hired anyway.

I know how tough it is better then anybody but I also know my sexual preference is nobody's business and even if you know somebody you work with is gay be warned there are stool pigeons like the wazoo in the workforce who want to get you fired.

We know you are gay here but they don't need to know it outhere.

Best thing you can do is go with what you want to do even if you have to take a few temp jobs to get it. I've have three soon to be four in the last two years which has helped me see what I am good and not good at. It'll take some trial and error but keep the gay aspect out of it or you'll never get hired at any big company especially if there are zero gay friendly places around.

Odds are you won't be working in a situation like that where you can be gay but still work. I've worked on an all gay workforce before and well it didn't work out too well so be aware of what you want to do and who you work under because cobras are a real reality even in a gay workforce.

Hope this all helps you out. I feel your frustration but it's going to be a job in itself to KEEP it once you get it.
