Dude are you serious?

Are you really comparing a uniform to sexuality? Even the line "act straight" is mis informed because it has nothing to do with acting, its who you are. Someone can "act" as straight as they want, but that has nothing to do with their sexuality which is determined by who you are attracted to, not how you act. Imagine someone refusing you a job because your girlfriend is blonde.

Code of conduct at work is one thing; "speak like this", "dress like this"... Essentially being asked to adjust your means of expression to fit a business/event. Someone can't just go home and change their race/gender/sexuality lol,  they are not means of expression.

Dude, what if I told you that a gay person could act in a way as to make people think they're straight? For example a man going with his boyfriend into restaurant while not holding hands, not kissing and not talking about how great the gay sex was they had last night. You don't have to change your personality to pretend you're someone else. I could easily pretend to be gay and people would believe me.

Yes, me acting gay is the very exact same thing as me acting as if I don't hate wearing that suit. It's an act. It's very easy but still very uncomfortable. I'm not asking people to change inside but only to the outside. An act is an act is an act is an act.

And yes being uncomfortable in what you are doing is universal no matter what uncomfortable thing you are doing.

But apparently a gay man being uncomfortable has more weight than another man being uncomfortable for a different reason.

The only reason why trying to disguise your sexuality would be relevant is to escape discrimination for being Gay which is the issue in the first place! lol

No one actually cares if you hate suits as long as you wear one and do your job well, if you're constantly whining that wouldn't be doing your job well. Descriminating on sexuality is the opposite of this, its something which has no basis in the work place unless you're selling sex.. Just like race/gender its something which can not be taken off like a peice of clothinge.

Essentially your above point about acting gay/straight is mute, its like asking someone who has a wife to pretend that they don't have a wife in order to get a job, or pretend that they don't go for blondes. Sure they could do it, but they shouldn't have to because descrimination based on marital statis shouldn't be a problem in the first place, the type of females you go for shouldn't be talking point, its your sexuality not a political statement.
