I mean, if it was a type of person who was out all night with all sorts of promiscuous partners sharing needles blah blah blah then it's understandable that you wouldn't want them working for you. The thing is, all of those bad things could be done by a straight person.

The general difference is that you're DENYING somebody something for reasons which they cannot change. It's no different to not hiring somebody black simply because they're black.

Then again, I don't think I'd particularly want to work for a homophobic boss, so we'd be on the same page.
I agree. But. Because homophobia. Is a natural condition. Then a gay employer. Should not be able to deny employment to a homophobic. But i bet, if it went to court. The gay boss would win the court case. Which is discriminatory.
